President
Massimiliano says welcome. The DCI, www.duettoclub.it
arranged the meeting, or Raduno as they say in Italian. |
At last,
Italian lunch. It tastes so good. |
Everybody's
talking, about Alfa Romeo Duetto of course. Gava - Gaetano
Vaccaro in the middle with beard an
Maurizio74 enjoys the wine. |
|
|
|
Some of us
had lunch outside. . . |
. . .while
Bebo was enjoying himself inside together with Riccardone far left
and Bebo's Antonella in the center of attraction. |
The Cathedral
of Orvieto is very scenic.
Orvieto is located on top of a cliff of red
stones. The cathedral was built in 1290 - 1600. A lot of beatiful
mosaic makes the Dome so special. Close to the Dome is the
Palazzo Vescovile, the Bishop's Palace.

|
|
|
Tosco and his
co-pilot. Tosco took a lot of very nice photos. Thanks. |
Time to eat!
Always a lot of plates, typical Italian food, very, very nice and
good. |
Cucina
Italiana, moda Umbria. |
|
|
|
Then, after
such an excellent lunch in Umbria, you will need to walk an burn
some calories. Here Nero817, left and to the right Riccardone
stroll to the catacombs. |
On the way to
the catacombs of Orvieto, this is what you see. Hills of Umbria,
origin of Orvieto wines. |
The catacombs
were founded more than 800 years ago. It is a special feeling to
breath under the Cathedral. Here Stina is trying to catch up with
Maurizio74 and his lovely grilfriend. |
|
|
|
Here and
there a stones, used as a mill. |
This one is
from 1697. |
The caves are
still being explored by archeologists. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In Oriento,
don't miss the caves. They are basically catacombs, or tombs and
were used to escape and hide from enemies. |
A historic
feeling when you enter the caves and small narrow roads under the
Cathedral. |
When you have
an Alfa Romeo, never worry about old problems. You'll soon get new
trouble. Nero817 Is a bit worried. |
|
|
|
Must be
something loose? Nero817 is even more puzzled. |
What is that thing down under? Porca miseria, Nero817. |
Finally! |
|
|
|
Bebo is
supervising and making an inspection. Tutto bene. |
Hills of
Umbria again in the sun. The proud Duetto owner 2tto66 opens the
bonnet to show his engine once more. Yeah! |
Always good
to see an old Giulietta Spider from the early -60's. |
|
|
|
Warm engines
and then, andiamo. The historic part of Orvieto makes a good engine
sound even better. Double carburetors and twin cam engines at its
best. |
