Duomo di Orvieto

14th-century Roman Catholic cathedral - Before the Sistine, Michelangelo came here and studied. In the Cappella di San Brizio, Luca Signorelli’s Last Judgment was already on the walls; Michelangelo stayed with those figures, then took what he had learned to Rome. The cathedral around the chapel is a cliff-top reliquary of striped stone and gold mosaic. Wonderful place to visit.
