Duomo di Orvieto

The cathderal in Orvieto contains The Brizio Chapel with frescoes by Luca Signorelli.

"Influenced greatly by Dante's "Divine Comedy," but also and perhaps more vividly by the recent public death by torture of Savonarola, the apocalypse-preaching Florentine zealot, Signorelli created what is perhaps the greatest masterpiece in this treasure trove. The Brizio Chapel is entirely frescoed with scenes depicting the end of the world, the resurrection of the dead, Paradise and Hell."
