Orvieto
Sorry for the lack of posting. I had a final/not much that was all that interesting happened in my life. If you were concerned, sorry. Everything is A OK, tutte bene, and such.
This past weekend we had a class trip to Orvieto. It's a small picturesque town about an hour from Rome, built on top of a small mountain. We saw the cathedral there, with the Signorelli frescoes, which were more interesting than any I'd seen yet. As you can imagine, at this point we're pretty tired of anything that involves Jesus, a crucifix, a saint, or the italian service industry. Signorelli's frescoes were good because he depicts scenes like the coming of the anti-christ and the damned, which are needless to say, bad-ass.
