closed off archaeological dig, where you will be able to see 5000 years of continuous history, starting with the stone age and finishing
with the Romanesque. The team will gladly take its time and explain the varied and storied history of Orvieto, while you and your group
are standing just mere feet from main street, 10 feet underground, and 2500 years back in history.
