Calcata

The hill town of Calcata 50 km North of Rome

It's got an interesting history. Essentially it was condemned in the 1930's by the Italian government because of its precarious location on soft tufa stone. (Come on now, seriously? These cities have been located on this kind of stone for hundreds of years!) So the residents were moved to a newly built town and this one abandoned. In time, artists and squatters moved in and it's now a hipster artist community. You can read about it in this New York Times article.

I actually thought it was not NEARLY as charming and interesting as Civita di Bagnoregio. I found Calcata much too touristy and no one spoke Italian. I guess I'm become jaded, or at least annoyed by tourism, of which you find none here in Viterbo!
