Orvieto - Cathedral

In the richly decorated interior of the Orvieto Cathedral is the Cappella Nuova or Cappella della Madonna di San Brizio, with frescoes (in particular, the "Last Judgment"), begun by Fra Angelico da Fiesole in 1447 but mainly painted by Luca Signorelli from 1499 onwards, which are among the supreme achievements of 15th century painting.

The facade of Orvieto Cathedral, begun in 1310 but not completed until the 16th century, is decorated with scenes from the Old and New Testaments by Sienese artists (14th century) and mosaics of overwhelming richness (originally 14th century, mostly restored in the 19th century) including the "Coronation of the Virgin" on the tympanum. The intricately cast modern bronze doors are by Emilio Greco (1969).

Behind the altar of the Cappella del Corporale is a reliquary (1338) containing the bloodstained chalice-cloth of the "miracle of Bolsena", which is displayed only on Easter Day and Corpus Christi.
