Orvieto

approx 2 hours, 125km

The Duomo has an extraordinary façade and important Signorelli frescoes.  The Etruscan necropolis is likewise well worth visiting.  The Pozzo di San Patrizio (on the eastern end of Corso Cavour) is a spectacular medieval well with double spiral stairways 62 metres down to the water designed to deconflict the donkey traffic.  The stairways are lit by 72 windows.  Nice shopping and quite good eating.  Take the funicular up to the city from the vast (free) parking near the train station.
