Italy
A 7-day trip to Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy
An eroding hilltop relic connected to the modern world by a single footbridge
Perched on a crumbling pinnacle of volcanic tuff and clay high above the Valle dei Calanchi, Civita di Bagnoregio earned its moniker as 'la città che muore' (the dying city). Accessible solely by a steep 300-meter pedestrian footbridge from the modern gateway town of Bagnoregio, this ancient Etruscan settlement has less than a dozen permanent year-round residents. By midday it teems with day-trippers from Rome and Orvieto; by dusk, the day-trippers depart across the bridge, returning the cobblestone alleys and quiet piazzas to an eerie, suspended stillness.
