The town of Civita di Bagnoregio stands on a small hill, dominating from above the valleys of the two small torrents Torbido and Chiaro , the feature that immediately catches the eye when observing the small hamlet, and for which the town is so famous in the whole world, is to rise in the valley of gullies and to be in an isolated position with respect to the rest of the other countries, the reason being that the clayey hill on which Civita di Bagnoregio was born has undergone for centuries a very strong erosion due to atmospheric phenomena, and crumbling slowly and inexorably, the town is today almost totally uninhabited and can only be accessed by means of a single road, made of concrete.
The view from the belvedere, the only starting point for reaching the town of Civita di Bagnoregio on foot, is breathtaking… a narrow concrete road leads, climbing towards the end, to a fairytale village that seems to be suspended between myth and history, a magical and mystical place, ancient houses that rise around the main square, where the Church of San Donato stands, and others facing the valley of the gullies, giving the visitor a unique view of its kind, with the sensation of being suspended in the void, supported by some mysterious force that still today guards this village.

The Villa d'Este in Tivoli, with its palace and garden, is one of the most remarkable and comprehensive illustrations of Renaissance culture at its most refined. Its innovative design along with the architectural components in the garden (fountains, ornamental basins, etc.) make this a unique example of an Italian 16th-century garden. The Villa d'Este, one of the first giardini delle meraviglie , was an early model for the development of European gardens.
