Orvieto, città millenaria sospesa quasi per magia tra cielo e terra, ha svelato un altro degli aspetti che la rendono unica ed eccezionale: un dedalo di oltre mille grotte è nascosto nell’oscurità silenziosa della rupe. Scavato dagli antichi abitanti nel corso di circa 2500 anni, questo sotterraneo labirinto, rimasto immutato nel tempo, è un prezioso serbatoio di informazioni storiche ed archeologiche, studiato solo recentemente in modo organico e scientifico.

La visita guidata alla Orvieto Underground rappresenta lo strumento più appropriato per entrare in contatto con questo nuovo, particolarissimo aspetto culturale di una città estremamente ricca di storia e di “gioielli” artistici: echi misteriosi ed affascinanti raccontano dell’etrusca Velzna, mentre dall’umida ombra traspaiono fantasmi della città medievale e rinascimentale. Nei cunicoli, nelle scale, nelle ampie sale sovrapposte, nei passaggi inattesi si può leggere la secolare avventura della nascita di questa “città sotterranea”. E’ uno straordinario viaggio nel tempo, un percorso emozionante ed agevole nel cuore di Orvieto che qui affonda le proprie radici e conserva, quasi intatta, una insospettata e suggestiva memoria.

Orvieto, an ancient city suspended halfway between heaven and earth, has long kept secret the labyrinth of caves and tunnels hidden in the silent darkness of the cliff. Those who lived on the top of this high plateau, dug this hidden labyrinth left unaltered over the past 2500 years; it is an invaluable reservoir of historical and archeological information which has only recently been the object of organic scientific studies.

A guided tour of Orvieto Underground is therefore the best way to become acqainted with this new, unusual aspect of the culture of a city that abounds in history and outstanding art treasures. Mysterious fascinating echoes tell the tale of the Etruscan Velzna, while ghosts of medieval d renaissance Orvieto seem to lingerin the humid shadows. The endless succession of tunnels, stairs, unespected passageways, superimposed rooms bear witness to the creation over the centuries of this “city underground”.

Orvieto, jahrtausendealte Stadt, wie durch Zauberkraft zwischen Himmel und Erde schwebend, hat ein weiteres seiner Gesichter, dank deren es aussergewöhnlich und einzigartig erscheint, offenbart: ein Wirrsal von mehr als tausend Grotten verbirgt sich im stillen Dunkel des Felsens.

Dieses, von den alten Bewohnern der Stadt im Laufe von ungefähr 2500 Jahren gegrabene Labyrinth, stellt ein wertvolles Reservoir geschichtlicher und archäologischer Auskünfte dar, welches erst seit kurzem einheitlich und wissenschaftlich erforscht wurde.

Die Führung Orvieto Underground ist der beste Weg um diesem neuartigen und sehr aussergewöhnlichen Aspekt, einer an Geschichte und an “Perlen” der Künste schon so reichen Stadt, zu begegnen. Hier hallt faszinierend das etruskische Velzna wider, und im feuchten Dunkel schimmert gespenstisch die Stadt des Mittelalters und der Renaissance. Gänge, Treppen, grosse übereinander liegende Säle, unerwartete Durchgänge erzählen von der Geburt dieser “unterirdischen Stadt”.

Es handelt sich um eine einzigartige Reise durch die Zeit, um einen atemberaubenden und doch bequemen Gang durch das Herz Orvietos, das hier wurzelt und hier ein unerwartetes und beindruckendes Gedächtnis fast unversehrt bewahrt.

Die Führung “Orvieto Underground” beginnt am
Touristeninformationsbüro, Piazza Duomo Nr. 24.
– vom 1. März bis zum 31. Januar: jeden Tag um 11.00, 12.15, 16.00, 17.15 Uhr (während der Perioden starken Fremdenverkehrs, alle 15 Minuten)
