CIVITA DI BAGNOREGIO: THE VILLAGE THAT IS “FADING AWAY” with lunch

On a spur of fragile tuff rock stands a fairytale village, destined to disappear before the eyes of its 11 inhabitants at a rate of 7 cm per year. Don't let it slip away from you: cross the suspension bridge that separates it from the rest of the world and discover its legends, wandering through the little side streets where Fellini filmed “La Strada”.

MAIN STOPS: 

Viewpoint and panoramic bridge

Stroll through the alleyways and squares of the medieval village

The cathedral, the wishing well and the cave of San Bonaventura

Panoramic stops to view the gullies and the valley

Lunch in a local restaurant

THE PROGRAMME: 

On the other side of the stunning panoramic bridge, from which you can enjoy views of the valley and gullies, you will get the chance to visit a small medieval village. Don't let it get away from you, because although it's there today, who knows if it still will be tomorrow…

Strolling on the cobblestones through a maze of alleyways and little squares, our guide will tell you some of the legends and stories of this magical place: did you know that St. Francis performed one of his miracles here, and that there is a wishing well?

Keep your smartphone to hand, because Civita di Bagnoregio is a real open-air film set: And it's certainly not a coincidence around each corner, catch a glimpse of the beauty that has led to some of the most memorable Italian comedies being shot here. The village is also a pilgrimage destination for Japanese fans of the director Miyazaki, who took inspiration from this place for some scenes of "Spirited Away", his animated masterpiece. Just think: the surreal atmosphere of Civita has an effect on everyone!

After many discoveries, the last one awaits you: a typical lunch in a local restaurant.
