THE MOST INTERESTING THING ABOUT THIS LITTLE PLACE, 
CIVITA DI BAGNOREGIO, IS THAT ITS DAYS ARE NUMBERED.
THE ITALIANS CALL IT "LA CITTĄ CHE MUORE", 
THE TOWN THAT IS DYING, BECAUSE THE ROCK THAT IT IS BUILT ON 
IS CRUMBLING MORE AND MORE EACH DAY. NOWADAYS, THE ONLY WAY OF 
REACHING THE LITTLE TOWN IS BY THIS LITTLE BRIDGE, 
WHICH IS NOT FOR CARS. NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE LAZY...







THIS IS AN ALLEY IN BAGNAIA. THE TOWN IS MOST KNOWN FOR THE MAGNIFICENT
GARDENS OF VILLA LANTE. THE GARDEN IS TERRACED, AND THERE IS A FLOW OF 
WATER FROM THE HIGHEST PART OF THE GARDEN DOWN TO THE BOTTOM, WITH MANY 
FOUNTAINS ALONG THE WAY. WELL WORTH SEEING.

THIS IS THE THE MINIATURE TRUCK THAT IS USED TO EMPTY 
THE GARBAGE BINS OF THE SMALL TOWN. 
PLEASE NOTE THAT IT ONLY HAS THREE WHEELS.

THIS IS THE TOWN OF SORIANO NEL CIMINO, SITUATED ABOUT 70 KM 
NORTH OF ROME. I WENT THERE WITH MY ITALIAN CLASS IN JUNE 1997.
THE PART IN THE PHOTO IS THE OLD PART OF TOWN.
IT'S A NICE TOWN, BUT IT HAS A LOT OF STEEP HILLS...
