		Maitani established his reputation in Siena and was called to supervise the construction at Orvieto in 1308 when the unprecedented height and span of the cathedral's vaults and arches presented unforeseen difficulties.
		Maitani's most important contribution was the design of the cathedral's facade.
		Two of the panels attributed to Maitani, "Scenes from Genesis" and "The Last Judgment," are delicate bas-reliefs unified by an ascending vine that suggests a French Gothic influence.

	Façade of the Cathedral by MAITANI, Lorenzo

		Later he also supervised the sculpture of the lower facade, although he is recorded as executing only one of the four large bronze symbols of the Evangelists, the eagle of John.
		Under the direction of Nino di Andrea Pisano, who, as it seems, was at that time the head of the Works Department of the Cathedral, the works began on the northern side of the Cathedral in connection with the rampant arches made by Maitani to strenghten the main structures of the Church.

	Orvieto
		By 1305, master architect and sculptor, Lorenzo Maitani of Siena was called to work on the project, as the walls had begun to sway perilously.
		Maitani was a hero to the Orvietani, as he resolved the problem by building four lateral flying buttresses and made the apse into a square in order to stabilize the cathedral.
		Maitani also cast the four bronze symbols of the evangelists: the ox, the eagle, man and a winged lion, which crown the cornice of the façade.
