Civita di Bagnoregio, often called the “dying town,” is a charming hilltop village in central Italy.
Perched atop a fragile tuff hill, it’s accessible only by a footbridge, offering stunning views of the surrounding valleys. Founded by the Etruscans over 2,500 years ago, the town has a rich history but faces erosion threats. Its cobbled streets, ancient architecture, and quiet beauty attract visitors seeking an enchanting glimpse into Italy’s past.
In Italian, prosciutto simply translates to “ham.” In Italy, villagers originally began to cure pork legs to extend their meat supply during the long winters.
