The 'dying town' of Civita di Bagnoregio clings to a crumbling pinnacle of tufa and clay, reachable only on foot across a long footbridge. Cut off as the surrounding badlands erode, this near-deserted medieval village of stone lanes and tiny piazzas is one of central Italy's most haunting sights, just over the border from Orvieto.
