With its amusing and informal language, appealing graphic design, the guide takes the visitor by the hand on a discovery tour of Orvieto, with pauses for refreshment. In other words, a cup of coffee at the best known café in town, the truffled tagiatelle prepared by the best local chefs, the home-made blue-ribbon ice cream, a sip of chilled Orvieto wine served in a real Orvieto cellar and so on.
In other words, restaurants, trattorias, pastry and ice-cream shops, wine libraries and wine bars have a site where they can lay claim to their role as promoters of that culture of good eating and drinking that is the inalienable characteristic of a small historical center like Orvieto. And to those others whose credo is speed, it offers a stimulus and invitation to pause or, at least, take it easy.
The idea is that of giving the visitor a chance for a full immersion in the different aspects of Orvieto, food and wine, art and history, culture and entertainment.
