William is up on the ramparts. These were built in Medieval times to defend the city from other cities. They did manage to defend the city from a flood in 1812.
We have been in quite a few churches and I have never seen a fresco showing Mary with a sword protecting the bambino from a horrid devil.
This city has a lot of history. The Etruscans were here, then it was a Roman City with an amphitheater that seated 10,000. After the Romans were defeated by the barbarians the Roman buildings were used to build other houses. The amphitheater was filled with small huts which were cleared later so you can at least see where the amphitheater was. Here you can see houses built into the old walls of the amphitheater.
L'acqua di questa fontana proviene dall'antico acquedotto Voluto. The water from this fountain comes from the ancient aqueduct Voluto. We watched a woman fill her jugs of water, then Wm went over for a drink.
William liked this lion in the courtyard of an old Palace.
