Do you remember the bridge that led to the castle and that Shreck had to cross to free Fiona from captivity? Equal, identical is found in Civita di Bagnoregio, only that the town really exists, and here you will find neither Shreck nor Fiona nor the dragon.
Civita di Bagnoregio is located in Lazio, in the province of Viterbo, but it is also not far from Orvieto. The village is located at a height of 520 meters on a spur of tuff rock and this is his blessing and curse at the same time. The blessing because the view of the perched city and the location of Civita are wonderful. When you arrive you see a mountain with cliffs at peak, with green hills around it, and on it small stone houses, the bell tower that stands from afar and a long bridge that is the only way to enter the hamlet. The curse because the same mountain on its is located Civita is subjected to constant erosion and the future of the village is uncertain: its buildings are in constant danger and consequently those who live there. there are few. All this has attributed to Civita di Bagnoregio a sad name for the 'city that dies'.
The bridge is the only modern element. Medieval and Renaissance and largely abandoned buildings await you within the walls. Where life continues, you can see restored doors and windows, the walls covered with ivy and courtyard decorated with flowers. For obvious reasons there are no cars: at most a bee or type of golf cars, which serve to supply the restaurants and the inhabitants. The village is so small that you can visit it far and wide. But what takes your breath away is the atmosphere that reigns inside and the spectacular view of the famous' gullies', clay ridges with a wavy shape.
