Many leporellos are used as a way of telling a story, while others are purely visual. Yours may depict a scenic panorama of the sights, infused with the customs, culture, food and wine of Orvieto.
Beautiful buildings may include:
Duomo di Orvieto
Church of San Giovenale
Church of San Lorenzo de’Arari
Church of Sant’Andrea
