Detailed itinerary
1
rvieto is a charming town in Umbria, perched on an imposing tuff cliff overlooking the surrounding valley. Its unmistakable Listing already stands on the horizon DA far, immediately recalling its long Etruscan and medieval history.
The heart of the city is the magnificent Duomo, a masterpiece of Italian Gothic architecture, famous for its decorated facade and for the Chapel of San Brizio with frescoes by Luca Signorelli. But Orvieto also surprises underground: a labyrinth of caves, wells and tunnels dug into the tuff tells centuries of hidden life.
Walking through its streets means immersing yourself in an authentic atmosphere, among panoramic views, artisan shops and flavors of the Umbrian tradition. It is a city that combines art, mystery and beauty in a perfect balance.
2
Civita di Bagnoregio is a small village suspended in time, perched on a fragile tuff cliff in the valley of the Calanchi, between Lazio and Umbria. It is known as “the dying city” because of the erosion that has threatened its foundations DA centuries.
It can only be reached on foot, crossing a panoramic bridge that seems to lead to another era. Once inside, you will discover a web of silent alleys, stone houses, sunny squares and an intimate and timeless atmosphere.
Civita enchants with its fragile beauty, the landscape that surrounds it and the unique feeling of being in a place on the border between history and legend.
