There is a fountain between the railway station and the funicular taking visitors to the gorgeous town of Orvieto that defies belief. To say that it is ugly would be an understatement. In a land full of beautiful sculpture someone felt the need to create this.
It seems to be made of the same tufa that forms the bricks used for the lovely houses of the town. There is no way of photographing the fountain to make it look good.
What a pity that is what visitors see when they leave the station. Let’s hope sanity prevails and this eyesore is removed. Let me know what you think if you go to Orvieto.
