Begin your journey with a visit to Civita di Bagnoregio, also known as "il paese che muore" (the dying town). This ancient village, perched atop a Tufa hill, can only be accessed by a footbridge, offering an incredible and dramatic view of a deep-cut valley below. The atmosphere is ethereal, as if stepping back in time to a ghost town that has been preserved in its medieval glory.
