   Civita di Bagnoregio

   2h

   An incredible citadel perched on top of a steep hill, connected to civilization only by a bridge. This town, Civita, is so precarious, the land underneath it so fragile, that it is impossible to live here. And so its inhabitants have left it behind. A ghost town today, opened only for tourists to admire. It has resisted centuries of erosion, earthquakes and floods. The soil around it carried away, bit by bit through hundreds of years, has left this once flourishing community to its fateful destiny. A few beautiful rustic buildings trying to keep their balance on top of a tiny piece of land, surrounded by hollow landscapes, quiet and undisturbed.

7. 7

   Rome

   2h

   Return to Rome after a wonderful day OFF the beaten path. With drop off at Hotel or Apartment.
