It's super hot here in Orvieto, and today I wasn't feeling well...I don't think the heat helped. But I came to Orvieto on a Wednesday to be here to see the Thursday market--which sells everything!  Lots of locals, some tourists, and they sell cheap clothing, to pots and pans, paper towells and finger nail polish, and also amazing looking fruits (so many peaches!), vegetables, meats, and incredible cheeses (which honestly, I smelled before I saw them...) Found a spot in the shade before I keeled over and did this sketch. 
Orvieto Thursday Market, the guy with the cane was waiting for his super
friendly very young grandson to run up the steps (where I was sitting)
and come back down.

Finished the Piazza della Republica sketch with the old guys
descretely looking over my shoulder.
Later in the day, I saw the Orvieto Underground, 2 archeology museums, and another amazing underground cave museum.  Then it was back to the piazza to paint the drawing I started yesterday--listening to the old guys hanging out in the square arguing the entire time!
