On our Intuitive Italy Photography/Painting Workshop, we will visit Civita di Bagnoregio, a unique place in Italy, where an old ancient town, currently populated by only 4-8 people, is built over the top of a flattened hill and is connected to the outside world by just a pedestrian bridge. Civita di Bagnoregio is called also "the dying town" because of the tremendous erosion problems. It sits atop a tufa plug, which erodes on all sides. This hamlet is way picturesque.

| Civita di Bagnoregio Angel |
This beautiful angel is inside the small church -- it's large - 4-5 feet tall. Also inside the church is a 13th century bishop, also about 4-5 feet tall. I cannot resist these dead bodies in the churches. I find them morbidly fascinating. He lies below an altar in a side chapel, forever venerated in his glass coffin and silk robes. The face is plastic, like a doll's face, and the hair is also artificial.
