“Orvieto and Bolsena: Miracles, Majesty, and the Birth of Corpus Christi”

From the miraculous events at Bolsena that inspired the Feast of Corpus Christi, to the awe-inspiring Cathedral of Orvieto that rose to enshrine the relic, this lecture explores how faith, art, and history converged to create one of the most enduring legacies of medieval Italy.
