A view up from the bottom of St.Partick's well in Orvieto, Italy. This huge 175ft-deep. 43ft-diameter well was built in 1527-37 on the orders of Pope Clement VIIwho moved there after the sacking of Rome in 1527. The most interesting part of the design is a double-helix ramp (behind the windows) leading to the bottom, so donkeys carrying water on the way up would not bump into donkeys going down
