Attractions in OrvietoInformation about museums, monuments and other tourist attractions, in and around the city of Orvieto.
Monuments in OrvietoSection dedicated to the major monuments, churches, museums and other attractions of the city of Orvieto. The DuomoSymbol of the city of Orvieto itself, the Duomo is one of the most beautiful in Italy. The start of construction dates back to 1290, the building was strongly supported by both the Catholic Church, and the City. The intent was to create one large cathedral for the city, to replace the battered two churches that existed there before. It should also be noted that the delightful story of the event of the Miracle of Bolsena encouraged the construction of the Duomo.
The Duomo is a magnificent building that brings together different architectural styles. In particular we can define a fine example and balance the of Gothic and Romanesque styles. There were many people who participated in the various phases of design and construction. Among them, Arnolfo di Cambio, and Lorenzo Maitani, with regard to the design (in particular should Maitani for much of the credit of the splendid facade) and a lot of sculptors, goldsmiths and painters as regards the landscaping and finishing. Among the sculptors outstanding figure of Ippolito Scalza (local architect of several works in Orvieto, including the Town Hall), which can be seen inside the Duomo, the statuta della Pietà. Among the painters have had a major role Ugolino di Prete Ilario, Gentile da Fabriano, Beato Angelico and Luca Signorelli's frescoes in particular of the two beautiful chapels of San Brizio, and the Corporale.
Of particular value and beauty are the frescoes by Signorelli in the Cappella di San Brizio, where the artist plays with skill and very engaging choreography, the theme of the Last Judgment, in a striking alternation of apocalypse and redemption.
The cappella del Corporale has frescoes based on scenes from the Bible and sacred representations. Among them stands out the painted panel depicting the "Madonna dei Raccomandati" by Lippo Memmi (dated 1320). The same chapel houses the shrine of the Corporale (admirable work of the goldsmith Ugolino di Vieri) and is exposed to the tabernacle containing the Holy Body of linen stained by the blood of Jesus at the Miracle of Bolsena. The Tabernacle with the sacred linen is carried in procession every year on the Feast of Corpus Domini after a historical procession.
Also inside the Duomo you can admire many other decorative elements of absolute beauty, as the fonte battesimale and the massive pipe organ. However, much of what in the past contributed to inside decor, such as statues, paintings, jewelry, are now kept in museums in Orvieto, and waiting to be exposed according to a plan of restoration and reorganization of the Museum Opera del Duomo Palazzo Soliano. Under this project, the new exhibition area will offer visitors the chance to admire the precious objects that are part of the furniture of the Duomo (including the 12 large statues of the apostles who until 1800 were located at the base of each column of the Duomo), as well as all the ancient papers, sketches and original designs that belong to the Opera del Duomo, and were used to create this magnificent monument.

Pozzo di San Patrizio Saint Patrick's Well In 1527 during the "Sack of Rome" the then Pope Clement VII took refuge at Orvieto, he commissioned Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in the construction of the Well to serve as the water supply in case of siege in Orvieto.
The design of Sangallo, who already worked on the fortifications of the city, was inspired by the spiral of the Belvedere in the Vatican, he created an ingenious system of two spiral staircases that never meet. They create a way to get in and out of the Well (about 53 meters deep) without any traffic problems. Today it is a real pleasure to descend to its depths along the more than two hundred steps. Click here for the Saint Patrick's Well audio guide.
Pozzo della Cava This is a recently discovered Well located in a residence on Via della Cava. This is an Etruscan Well, dug entirely by hand at a depth of 36 meters (over 118 feet).
The structure consists of two parts merged: the first, largest one, has a circular cross section with an average diameter of 3 meters and 40 centimeters. The second, smaller one, has a rectangular section of 60x80 cm sides and has the typical Etruscan "pedarole," the point marked on the side walls to allow the descent and ascent.
Throughout the year the well is open, and secure during the Christmas period, is now familiar scene of religious-themed performances, a traditional event known as "The Nativity in the Well." Click here for the Pozzo della Cava audio guide.
Torre del MoroClock Tower Torre initially called by the Pope, and later renamed the Moro probably in relation to that of Raphael Santi called "the Moor"(which gave its name to the district and the building beside the tower). The tower stands in the heart of the city in crossroads between Corso Cavour, Via del Duomo and Via della Costituente as a majestic center of the streets. The tower is open internally and has stairs leading to a spectacular terrace, where you can enjoy a beautiful 360 degree panoramic view of the city. Adjacent to the tower is also the beautiful Palazzo dei Sette, named in medieval times because it housed the seven judges who represented the major corporations and trades of Orvieto.

Churches of Orvieto
Sant'Andrea Located beside the Town Hall in the beautiful Piazza della Repubblica, this church has undergone significant architectural changes over time, and now has a beautiful facade flanked by a twelve-sided tower, similar to the tower of La Badia, just off the cliff of Orvieto.
Importantly, in the basement of the church are the remains of ancient Etruscan and Roman buildings. For those interested they can be visited with a guide with previous reservation.
Historically significant, in medieval times, the appointments of cardinals and Pope Martin IV Nicholas IV and Boniface VIII, took place in this church. Click here for the Sant'Andrea audio guide. San Francesco For a long time, this large church has served as the "cathedral" of the city, also becoming the theater of important historical events (see the canonization of the French King by Pope Boniface VIII). The church also has the distinction of having been built around 1227 on the highest point of the cliff. For a long time it was visited by the Franciscan monks who, like the Dominicans, were a constant presence in the city.
Today, this Romanesque church is one of the most fascinating churches to visit in the center of Orvieto, located in the heart of the historic center, just steps from the Duomo and the artisan street. San Domenico Original a San Dominican monastery, today the church is only partially intact, and there is no trace of the ancient cloister, which was probably placed in front of the existing facade. In fact much of the building was demolished during the Fascist period following the construction of a women's academy.
Inside the church, still remains a work of great value, created in 1285 by Arnolfo di Cambio: the funeral monument to Cardinal de Braye, for which they used "pieces" of an ancient Roman sarcophagus.
In front of the Church of San Domenico, there is a small children's playground and a central parking. San Domenico is located in few meters from Piazza del Popolo and the Teatro Mancinelli on Corso Cavour (which can be accessed by Via Felice Cavallotti). Click here for the San Domenico audio guide.
San Giovenale The oldest church in Orvieto, San Giovenal was built in 1004 on the ruins of an ancient Etruscan temple (probably dedicated to Tinia the Etruscan Jupiter), by the unanimous desire of the rich nobles of the medieval city.
San Giovenale is a Romanesque church whose walls are still partially covered in frescoes. It is located at an edge of the cliff, in the medieval district of Orvieto. This historic downtown area is particularly striking and remains unchanged over time.

Santa Maria dei Servi This modern-looking church is located almost at the beginning of Corso Cavour, exactly in Via Belisario, along a street that connects Via Roma and Corso with the eponymous park. Recent restoration of the facade, the profile and the structure is characterized instead by tufa walls. The restoration of the facade with its neo-classical style is the work of Vespignani (1857), while the entire complex adjacent to the church, which houses the core of the old convent dates back to 1265. San Lorenzo de'Arari A typical Romanesque church, which was rebuilt by the Franciscans in accordance with the ancient tradition of Orvieto he wanted the Romanesque classic like "default style" for the sacred buildings. The first building of the original church is believed around the year one thousand, however, his dating is commonly dated to the year 1291. Freely visited The interior has three naves with classical columns and appears despite the harsh and barren walls of the church were were covered with frescoes which, today, if they can but see only a small part remaining. Sant'Agostino An ancient church in the Gothic style, built 1264 by the Augustinian friars on the pre-existing church of Saint Lucia since it still preserves some of the frescoes of the life of St. Augustine, the saint to which it is dedicated, and today visited the beautiful St. Giovenale. Recently, the church is used as a striking exhibition hall that houses the marble statues of the Apostles: a beautiful complex of sculptures of the Apostles and Saints made between the late sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries, together with the sculptural group of '"Annunciation" by Francesco Mochi (1603-1608) that was part of the "kit" of the Cathedral. In particular, until the 19th century, each of these big statues depicting the Apostles and Saints stood at the foot of each column inside the cathedral.

Etruscan & Roman Monuments Etruscan Necropolis "Crocifisso del Tufo" The necropoli del "Crocifisso del Tufo" , along with the remains of the Temple of Belvedere, is one of the witnesses, visible to this day, of the Etruscan civilization, that for centuries inhabited Orvieto. It is located just below the tufa cliff and emerges as several Etruscan tombs from the characteristic rectangular shape.
Each grave can still be read as belonging to an Etruscan family. All objects and vessels found in this necropolis and in that of Cannicella are displayed in museums of the city of Orvieto. Click here for the Etruscan Monuments audio guide.
Etruscan Temple "Tempio del Belvedere" This site is located near the entrance of the city of Orvieto, in the vicinity of Saint Patrick's Well and just before Piazza Cahen. In a shady area full of greenery with a pleasant walk that follows the perimeter of the cliff, are the remains of an ancient Etruscan temple where you can see the stairway and some parts of the foundation and columns. The rest of the temple, probably built with wooden parts, has been lost in time. The temple was probably built to honor Tinia, the Jupiter of the Etruscans. Fanum Voltumnae The excavation area called "Campo della Fiera" where excavations are still in progress which, by now according to a collective opinion of historians and experts are bringing to light the remains of the famous "Fanum Voltumnae" Etruscan, which is the sanctuary of Vertumna, the most important site and federal sanctuary of the whole of 'ancient league of the twelve Etruscan cities, a real landmark and meeting place for all the major players in these cities. Today it can be argued that the site is of inestimable value and importance. It has already brought to light interesting findings, such as Greek pottery, coins, jewelry, ornaments and decorations of buildings. In particular, a long inscription has revealed the name of the Etruscan sanctuary: the "heavenly place" which critics identified with the famous archaeological Fanum Voltumnae. With the last campaign of excavation the remains of another temple were discovered (the fourth of the whole area). This discovery adds to what has been already brought to light by excavations, namely: an ancient road 9 m wide (dating back to the 6th century BC), the remains of ancient Roman baths, another stretch of road from medieval times and the foundation and front wall of the medieval church of San Pietro in Vetere is now fully visible (35 meters x 7 meters) with its mosaics.

The lovely people at PROJECTMILL filmed the Cinciditarod. If you missed the race, check out this footage.
Have you seen this yet? Thousands of conceited women with eating disorders almost killed each other at an America's Next Top Model audition in New York.
That's right folks, the Cinciditarod. It's a sporting event that cleverly combines the words "Cincinnati" and "Iditarod," as well as the meanings of both. The Cinciditarod is sort of like the grueling 1,100-mile Alaskan dog-sled race, except that it's held in Cincinnati, without dogs, with shopping carts instead of sleds and the course is only five miles. No big.
Ever had a bad one-night stand? Sure, we all have. But I mean like really, really bad? Like the kind of bad where the guy called out his own name or tried to pee on you or wanted you to dress up like Hannah Montana?
Out the dude and warn other women here.
So this hasn't officially happened to me yet, but my mom's best friend from high school joined when he became single again and he tells her what my status updates are. BTW my mom doesn't really know what "status update" means. She doesn't even understand what Facebook is.
Last night after the snow started coming in really thick, I took my dog outside without his leash so we could walk around. I live on a big hill that basically shuts down anytime there's inclement weather. Salt trucks don't even bother with it. So at around 2 a.m. the street was covered with this layer of untouched snow and I filled a red keg cup with some wine and walked my dog up and down the street. It was really dreamy until some college kids, who do amazing and hilarious things in snow, came out with what appeared to be their corn hole set and tried to sled down my street using the wooden part as sleds.
While other bars in Clifton and Northside were cleaning up after post-inauguration celebrations, employees and patrons of Fries Cafe, one of Clifton's historic neighborhood bars, were fleeing a fire.
So our bars may not be open until 5 a.m. (Washington D.C. is officially the party capital of the United States tonight), but there are still some sweet parties/drinking events going on around our fine city.

Brownsville man convicted for possession and distribution of meth
POSTED: Saturday, January 25, 2014 - 9:12am
UPDATED: Saturday, January 25, 2014 - 9:24am
BROWNSVILLE, TX — A federal jury has convicted Jaime Homero Guerrero of conspiracy to possess and possession with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, announced United States Attorney Kenneth Magidson. The jury returned its verdicts following more than two days of testimony and approximately five hours of deliberation.
Guerrero, 20, was a passenger in a 2010 Nissan on April 5, 2013, when it was stopped for a traffic violation on Highway 77 near Raymondville in Willacy County. At that time, officers found 36 packages containing a total of 26.16 kilograms of methamphetamine.
Guerrero initially stated he was headed from Matamoros, Mexico, to a Quincenera in Houston. He later claimed he was going to deliver the vehicle to Houston.
Also charged was Oraldo Arvey Castro-Rocha, who was driving the Nissan and later pleaded guilty.
At trial, agents testified the methamphetamine Guerrero and Castro smuggled was valued at nearly $1 million in the Houston area.
U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who presided over the trial, has set sentencing for April 28, 2014, at which time Guerrero faces a mandatory minimum term of 10 years and up to life in federal prison on each count of conviction as well as a possible $10 million fine. He has been in custody since his arrest where he will remain pending sentencing.
The case was investigated by Drug Enforcement Administration and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Assistant United States Attorneys Carrie Wirsing and David A. Lindenmuth prosecuted the case.

BPA has been the subject of intense research as it is a known endocrine disrupter which in large quantities interferes with the release of hormones.
Earlier studies have linked it to low sex drive, impotence and DNA damage in sperm. Now a new five year study claims to have found a link between levels of BPA in the blood and male fertility. For their study of 514 workers in factories in China, researchers at Kaiser Permanente, a California-based research centre, found that men with higher urine BPA levels were two to four times more at risk of having poor semen quality, including low sperm concentration, low sperm vitality and mobility. What is more the amount of the BPA in the blood seemed to be inversely proportional to sperm quality. Even those with less than the national average BPA levels in America were effected, it was claimed. Deadly Medicine. You wouldn't think the cities had much in common.

Her major success was bringing the disheveled punk look into the mainstream, so whenever you wear scuffed Converse, frayed jeans or a work shirt (or even a razor-blade necklace) then spare a moment to think of her.

Multitasker doesn't even begin to describe Renzo Rosso.
As he builds his OTB SpA Italian fashion empire, he invests in a number of projects—ranging from e-tailer Yoox Group to an organic food retail chain (through his family-owned Red Circle Investments). He also funds socially responsible initiatives with a focus on Africa through his Only the Brave Foundation, and he produces wine and olive oil on his Diesel Farm.
"The world is full of ideas, you need to be hungry for them and understand what people do," says Rosso, 58, giving a visitor a tour of the group's modern and sprawling headquarters in Breganze, about an hour's drive from Venice.
"I'm partly moved by instinct, but I always try to visualize the project. This is the same way I approach everything. How can I transform the idea that someone has shared with me into the best thing for both of us, and quickly?" he says, mimicking the thinking process with his fingertips propped against his temples, framed by his unruly salt-and-pepper curls.
The RR tattoo of his initials stands out on his knuckles and his blue eyes are matched by his aqua-colored sweater by Viktor & Rolf, one of the brands under the OTB umbrella, formerly known as Only the Brave. "They will be happy to see this," says Rosso about the garment, posing for a photo and referring to designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren. Besides the Dutch duo's label, the 1.57 billion euro, or $2.07 billion at average exchange, OTB group comprises Diesel, Maison Martin Margiela, Marni and production arm Staff International, which manufactures and distributes brands including Dsquared2, Just Cavalli, Vivienne Westwood and Marc Jacobs.
His day job almost came to an end in 2007, if it had not been for a chance meeting with the Dalai Lama, Rosso recalls. "I was thinking of giving it all up, I wanted to work less and devote my time to social projects until I met the Dalai Lama on a flight from Edinburgh to Rome. He told me that people would want to imitate me if I continued to do my work as an entrepreneur and that I had a responsibility toward the families of my employees. It was a fundamental day for me," says Rosso, who is not a Buddhist. "After all, this is very RR.
"I had a very simple education about dignity and life values," he adds, referring to his growing up on a farm in Brugine, near Italy's Padua, the youngest of three children. At the urging of his parents, Rosso enrolled at a textile school. It was a game-changer, and led to a job with Adriano Goldschmied managing a small production plant in nearby Molvena. He became a partner and eventually bought out Goldschmied in 1985, becoming sole owner of Diesel.
Rosso's ambition to develop OTB stands out in a country that has a bumpy history for fashion conglomerates. In the process, he has nourished profitable relationships with designers, both established and budding—also a distinction in this industry.
"My passion is talking to designers. I find a way to talk to them and I work to earn their respect," says Rosso. "I relate to them to understand them and make myself understood. I know now how to make myself clear."
He lets slip that this has not always been the case, admitting to past moments of "going crazy." Today, he says he deals with designers "in an intelligent way when they sound off. I have learned to manage them with diplomacy. The personality of the entrepreneur behind it all is very important, but with designers I am crazily sweet—there is not one designer in the world I don't get along with," he says with some pride.
Keeping each brand separate is a priority, as is reining in his design input—except for Diesel, and less so since Nicola Formichetti's arrival last year as artistic director.
"I never stick my nose in the designs of other brands, I don't want to, as a basic [premise]. Each has its own lifestyle and they need to be kept distinct," he stresses.

I'am sorry for misleading you, I ment it for usage after the hlfs build. Since going beyond hlfs is yust starting I was hoping on an easy way for adding those options to other packages. (and if an particilary package would fail to remove them for that one) At the moment I tryed some blfs stuff (with those CFLAGS) and midnight commander is running fine, dispite that glib was also compiled with those options. Is that yust pure luck? (in Holland we say: luck is with the stupid ;-) I looked for the script in the book, but I couldn't find it.

I noticed some cool things in there, particaly for chrooted things. (and a lot more I don't understand) It's a bit to much for me building and setting up my new server and also looking into grsec at the same time, so I was planning on looking in that later on. Apart from that, it will also replace my freevo box so it will do some heavy multimedia things and I have no clue or grsec is alowing all of that. I started with a 18.104.22.168-grsec-supermount-psuedo_random kernel, but both ivtv and nvidia failed to build so it has to wait a little. -- Groetjes Japie

"Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38).
Full-immersion baptism, as prescribed in the Bible, signifies the end of an old way of life—and the beginning of a new. Learn more about what baptism involves and whether or not you are ready for it.
On His way from Ephraim to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped in Jericho, which is on the route between the two towns. In Jericho, he meets a man named Zacchaeus, and the story of what happens next will provide our point for meditation today (Luke 19:2-10):
Passover: It's a day God commands us to observe each year by commemorating the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect life and paid the ultimate price on our behalf. When we get baptized, we are committing our lives to God, and Passover is when we renew that commitment.
"I want a second chance, I want to be able to do things over and do them better." How often have you thought something similar? Maybe you feel like sometimes you open your mouth and it is like listening to a canon as it fires across enemy lines. You may feel terrible about the things you say or do, but the reality of the situation is one you have to live with. You have caused pain to someone else.

So what's next down the pop-culture pipe? Beats me, but I will say this: Despite my growing interest in trip-hop, and my conviction that DJ Shadow's Endroducing ... is an album for the ages, I disagree with critics who contend that the music will revive a withering industry and pull kids back into the record stores. (That's about as likely as postrock diddlers such as Jessamine, FYxa, or Windy + Carl outselling Pink Floyd.) For better or worse, the masses like songs, not soundscapes -- they like words they can sing, melodies they can hum, and faces they can connect with the music they're hearing. Until trip-hop produces someone like that (Tricky is as close as it's come so far), it will remain the music of dancefloor dwellers and sofa-bound stoners looking for nod-out jams.
Of one thing, though, you can be certain: Punk rock will always be around, and the best of it will always be found on small independent labels that operate well beyond the confines of the mainstream -- even a mainstream that, until recently, was on friendly terms with abrasive rock and roll. The proof is in the self-titled debut album by the Crumbs, issued a few weeks back on the Berkeley-based Lookout label (home of the legendary Queers, the journeyman Mr. T Experience, and the former roost of Green Day).
Since the Fort Lauderdale quartet isn't exactly a household name, they don't have to worry about proclaiming or defending their credibility; you can hear it in the full-force power chords they've borrowed from the Ramones and in vocalist Raf Classic's frayed-throat snarl, a throwback to Mike Ness circa "Mommy's Little Monster." It's in the self-loathing, alcoholic melancholy of "Ain't No Stopping" and "Dead Boys Too," and the reckless fun in "It's Gonna Take All the Time I Got" and "The Deal Down There." Because of the album's crude production, and because the band is proud of their music's rough, ragged edges, the Crumbs don't stand a chance of reaching even a tenth of the Offspring's audience. Still, their brand of no-shit punk rock works the way the Offspring's simply doesn't, despite that band's feeble arguments to the contrary. But there isn't a pretentious moment anywhere on The Crumbs's thirteen cuts -- just pure conviction, purpose, and passion. And if that's not credibility, I don't know what is.
The Offspring perform Wednesday, February 26, at the Edge, 20 West Broward Blvd, Fort Lauderdale; 954-525-9333. Tickets for the all-ages show are $15 and doors open at 7:00 p.m. Opening acts include Strung Out and

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Biologically Inspired Cognitive Architectures (BICA) was a DARPA project administered by the Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) which began in 2005 and is designed to create the next generation of Cognitive architecture models of human artificial intelligence. Its first phase (Design) ran from September 2005 to around October 2006, and was intended to generate new ideas for biological architectures that could be used to create embodied computational architectures of human intelligence.
The second phase (Implementation) of BICA was set to begin in the spring of 2007, and would have involved the actual construction of new intelligent agents that live and behave in a virtual environment. However, this phase was canceled by DARPA, reportedly because it was seen as being too ambitious.[1]
Now BICA is a transdisciplinary study that aims to design, characterise and implement human-level cognitive architectures. There is also BICA Society - nonprofit organization formed to promote and facilitate this study.[2] On their website,[3] they have an extensive comparison table of various cognitive architectures.[4]

African-American female adolescents who engaged in vaginal sex only (N = 272) were compared to adolescents who engaged in two types (vaginal plus oral or anal; N = 295) and three types (vaginal, oral and anal; N = 144) on a constellation of other sexual risk behaviors (SRBs) and on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Adjusted contrasts among groups revealed that adolescents who engaged in two and in three types of sex as compared to those who engaged in vaginal sex only were more likely to engage in six of the seven SRBs, but were just as likely to have a STI. One SRB, having ≥ 4 lifetime sex partners, was in turn associated with STI. Two-way interactions indicated that having a casual sex partner and having multiple sex partners in the last 60 days increased the likelihood of STI, but only for adolescents who engaged in all three types.
