A thin but strong thread, the eternal thread of history that is originated from everyday life, binds the name of Lorenzo Maitani at the city of Orvieto.
It had been a secret dream first and a realized one later on, the extraordinary idea, to rest, against a simple structure of black and white stones, something that would have made the whole unforgettable. A façade that has been a joy for millions of eyes, from the capitani del popolo (magistrate in charge of defending the common people interest in politics between the XI and XIV century) of the past to today’s mass tourism.
Then there is the “Maitani”, a singular way to remember the great master of the cathedral’s frontispiece – engraving the name to exalt forever the glories of an hotel that from qualified receptive structure has gradually become in the years a specific characteristics, a pride of the city laid on the tuff.
It is not the number of stars, nor the bedrooms, all unique and beautiful, nor the magnificent terrace looking on Via Lorenzo Maitani and “cutting” a glimpse of the Duomo that attracts many photographers, to exalt the value of the hotel, the secret of the hotel is its atmosphere of attentive serenity that is perceived in the rooms skilfully set in the tuff, at ten metres from the square that is the centre of Orvieto’s life, culture and art.
It is not a cliché to say that Hotel Maitani can be considered a real institution of Orvieto, a milestone, a term of comparison that has become a sociological fenomenon.
Eminent personalities and common people stayed and stay there. For everyone, at any time and in any circumstances, Commendator Dino Morino, owner and commander of Albergo Maitani, has always a joke and witty remark.
In order to know Orvieto it is necessary to know this man, his is a story in the story. Behind those moustaches there is a character to be understood.
Dino Morino is deeply in love with his creature.
For him it is a daydream, he improves it constantly. He still manages to find endless solutions to make delightful the stay of the visitors who, luckily for them, chose Hotel Maitani.
The result is a Hotel renown in the world for its unique hospitality, a haven of peace and wellbeing in a city whose tranquility reminds the atmospheres described by D’Annunzio. Comforts are available in a place where everything oozes out art and culture, like if the tuff was able to narrate stories that go back from the times of ancient Etruscans, the first inhabitants of Orvieto, to the splendours of the Middle Ages. |
