Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy
YOU GUYS. This place exists.
We have to go immediately.
Due to erosion and landslides, the only thing keeping this town connected to the rest of the world is a pedestrian footbridge.
The town was built by ancient Etruscans about 60 miles north of Rome, with carved rock archways, narrow footpaths and multitudes of wine cellars. Just reading about this town makes me hungry. Ancient olive presses. Bruschetterias. Salumerias. Shops selling ciambellas. Wine cellars filled with giant kegs of wine.
The town is gradually being bought up by wealthy Italians looking for peaceful country vacation homes, but there are still lots of residents living and working in town, relaxing in the piazzas, and ready to chat about the town’s history.
I think this is a must-see for my next trip to Italy.
