Description
The dying city of Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy.
The town is noted for its striking position atop a plateau of friable volcanic tuff overlooking the Tiber river valley. It is in constant danger of destruction as the edges of the plateau collapse due to erosion, leaving the buildings to crumble as their underlying support falls away. There are plans to reinforce the plateau with steel rods to prevent further geological damage.
