Civita di Bagnoregio, Latium, Italy: The Town That Is Dying

surprisinglives.net/civita-di-bagnoregio-latium-italy/
“Civita di Bagnoregio…. “the town that is dying”, on a misty morning. Civita was founded by Etruscans more than 2,500 years ago.Due to erosion, the buildings are crumbling as their underlying support falls away, making it uninhabitable.” ~ Urdoi Catalin, Photographer. Location: Civita di Bagnoregio, Latium, Italy

    Beautiful image; but sad story.

      Yes, it is a sad story. But as you say, a beautiful image.

        I suppose it is natural erosion that is causing the town to crumble; that’s better than it being destroyed by human activity I guess.

          Oh yes, I’m much more comfortable with natural erosion. Like the concept of nature slowly taking back what originally belonged to it. Maybe I’m silly.

          If you’re silly, then I am too, cos I was thinking much the same thing. 🙂

    This composition is simply stunning. So sad that this is becoming a ghost city

    I wonder if the same could happen to other hilltop towns in Italy.

      Unfortunately, if the circumstances are similar I would guess, yes.
