ORVIETO - THE EXPERIENCE
Our weeklong workshop in Orvieto includes daytrips to several off-the-beaten track destinations, where photographers have the opportunity to meet and photograph Italians as they work, shop and relax. We travel to Civita, a tiny hillop town whose 17 residents can only be reached by crossing a kilometer-long footbridge. We spend an afternoon at the award-winning Palazzone Winery, where we photograph the harvest, the process of wine-making, and then get to sample the wine on a veranda that overlooks the vineyards. Some of the most rewarding aspects of the week are tuning into the daily rhythms of life in Orvieto; espresso in the morning, a hearty lunch at the convent in the afternoon, and, in the evening, the church bells sound time for the passeggiata � the traditional pre-dinner stroll, when the citizens of the town gossip, enjoy a gelato or a glass of Orvieto classico at a sidewalk cafe.
