Central portal of west façade
by MAITANI, Lorenzo, Stone, bronze sculpture, mosaics
Maitani’s principal architectural achievement was the fa�ade of the cathedral at Orveto. The fact that he was also involved in producing sculpture there, apparently by his own hand, is attested by documents. Marble reliefs adorn the four buttresses of the fa�ade up to the full height of the jamb of the central portal.
