The stunning clifftop town of Civita di Bagnoregio was once considered the “jewel city of the Tiber Valley”. But in the 17th century the town declined rapidly, due to earthquakes and soil erosion which sent many of its medieval buildings tumbling down the cliffs, and the inhabitants fleeing to nearby towns.
Nowadays it can only be reached by a narrow walkway, and the erosion is worse than ever. It is nicknamed “il paese che muore”, the dying town. So how do you bring a dying town back to life?
A petition to have the unique hamlet classed as a Unesco World Heritage site was started in May by Nicola Zingaretti, president of Lazio, the region in which the village is found. It has been signed by cultural heavyweights like Ennio Morricone, the film composer, and former Italian president Giorgio Napolitano.
