Rising dramatically from a volcanic tuff, the medieval city of Orvieto was a center of art, culture and winemaking during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. With its miles of underground passages and gothic architecture, tourism is now the bulk of its economy, although modernization and strict standards have brought its once sagging wine industry back to former glory.
