The territory of Orvieto, while presenting physical characteristics and human unquestionably that relate it to the landscape and the history of Umbria, also retains strong links with the northern Lazio and southern Tuscany, with which adjoins. L `Orvieto was once much more extensive, especially in medieval era, when the powerful city-state of Urbsvetus stretched from the Tiber River to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The landscape is varied and unpredictable and consists of rolling hills and vast plains, argillaceous rocks and offshoots of the Apennines.
