In September dominates the lilac, violet, red and purple will be seen in the role of opaque green plants, the yellow leaf that the moment was not there before ....The Association since its establishment has set among its priorities the conservation and sustainable exploitation of environmental assets, natural and scenic area of Orvieto. An area straddling the three regions of Umbria, Lazio, Tuscany, which was also the birthplace of the ancient Etruscan civilization, characterized by significant and unusual amount of environmental significance that integrate closely with those of historical and archaeological and artistic architecture.
