	Orvieto - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The site of this settlement has in fact been identified with the Etruscan center of Velzna (Volsinii in Latin), a city which began to flourish in the beginning of the 6th century B.C. This economic prosperity was based mainly upon the production of ceramics and on bronze work.
		From a political point of view, Velzna was in the forefront of the struggle against Roman expansionism, as a result of which in 254 B.C., having been occupied by the enemy armies, it was razed to the ground.
		In fact, Velzna became known as Volsinii Veteres (Ancient Volsinii) or Urbs Vetus (the Old City) as distinguished from Volsinii Novi (New Volsinii), which today is known as Bolsena.

		He worried that the news, that he was not involved with a girl in Rome because he was otherwise enthralled with a young barbarian eunuch slave, might induce fatal heart palpitations in his female parent.
		She had heard, from fellow female gossips in Volsinii, exaggerated but, to her, thoroughly convincing and alarming tales about the money-grabbing harlots of Rome, who were supposed to be forever looking out for handsome, rich but gullible bachelors to ensnare.

		L'etrusca Velzna o Volsinii nella forma latina, la potente città che per la maggior parte degli studiosi, si trovava sul colle che ospita attualmente Orvieto e che i romani distrussero completamente nel 264 a.C. fu con ogni probabilità la sua antenata.
		Conobbe poi un periodo di decadenza, dovuta alle distruzioni subite dai Longobardi a metà del V secolo e successivamente dai vari contendenti che si disputarono il suo possesso, prima di passare definitivamente al patrimonio della Chiesa che lo mantenne con alterne fortune fino all'avvento dell'unità d'Italia del 1861.
