	Civita di Bagnoregio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Civita di Bangme is a town of Viterbo province in Central Italy, 42°38N 12°06E, a frazione of the comune of Bagnoregio, 2 km (about 1 mile) W. It is about 145 km (90 mi) north of Rome.
		It was founded by Etruscans over twenty-five hundred years ago, has seen its population dwindle to just fifteen residents over the course of the 20th century, and has only recently been experiencing a tourist revival, due in great measure to the American travel guide Rick Steves who popularized it in the 1990s.
		Civita di Bagnoregio owes much of its unaltered condition to its relative isolation: the town was able to withstand most intrusions of modernity as well as the destruction wrought by two world wars.

	Across the Bridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Civita appears to be completely isolated, until we notice the narrow, steep modern bridge leading up to the town's arched entry way.
		In Roman times Civita perched on a narrow ridge, connected by means of a fairly straight paved road with the Tiber River valley to the east and the Roman via Cassia (still a major highway) near Lake Bolsena to the west.
		Civita is set within a landscape formed by the eruption of nearby volcanoes in prehistoric times, and continually transformed since then by the forces of wind and water.

		Civita's young people are gone, lured away by the dazzle of today to grab their place in Italy's cosmopolitan parade.
		Today, Civita's social pie has three slices: the aging, full-time residents; rich, big-city Italians who are slowly buying up the place for their country escape (the Ferrari family owns the house next to the town gate — and Civita's only Jacuzzi); and visitors enjoying la dolcezza di fare niente (the sweetness of doing nothing).

	Take Off Italy!
		I visited Civita di Bagnoregio for the first time after watching Travels in Europe hosted by Rick Steves….his philosophy was similar to mine (on travel) and I was inspired to travel to Civita.
		Civita is in the Calanchi Valley and is called the "dying town" as it literally is eroding away….houses and town walls built upon the tufa rock have disappeared as have those who once lived there (erosion, earthquakes and landslides).
		So, off I went to Civita di Bagnoregio….I’m not sure what I expected, but as I drove toward the town of Bagnoregio, I wondered if that amazingly high village I spied was where I was intending to go….I finally reached the parking area and took off on foot to cross the long, high bridge/footpath…..who knew?
