Nostalgic Italy

We visited Orvieto twice in years gone by, as we camped our way through Italy’s charming hill towns. Orvieto was our favorite. Thank you for a third nostalgic journey (“Italian Gothic,” Feb. 4). However, your cover photo did not do justice to the gleaming brilliance of this most magical of Italian cathedrals. Orvieto’s Duomo is the “Sleeping Beauty Castle” of Italian Gothic cathedrals. When the sun sets Orvieto’s Duomo ablaze, not even Soloman’s golden temple was more beautifully arrayed.
