When Pope Clement VII, fleeing from the Sack of Rome, took refuge at Orvieto, before commissioning St. Patrick's Well, ordered the excavation of the Pozzo della Cava, in Via della Cava [the street called "Cava", or quarry].

A big arch was made in the wall in which was the Etruscan little well, so that the spring water could be drawn from the road. www.pozzodellacava.it/caves/cosa/pozzo3.htm
