This pretty town has been known since the 16th century for its ceramics recognised by a colour scheme of verdigris, cobalt blue and orange. There are still many workshops and shops here producing and selling, which would make a lovely gift.

Situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tuff, Orvieto is a stunning sight both from afar and close up. Explore the underground tunnels, the classy shops and restaurants and marvel at the ‘Duomo’, the façade of which graces many a postcard.

The abandoned town of Civita di Bagnoregio is a spectacular sight. This ‘dying’ village sits atop a domed hilltop and is reached by a long and steep causeway. Only a few people live here now thanks to its precarious location on soft, easily eroded rock!
