In the northern area of Viterbo, about 30 kilometers from Rome, stands in the valley of the Calanchi a small medieval village whose charm, due not only to its historical and artistic richness but also to the territory where it was built, make it one of the most beautiful and characteristic villages in Italy, we are talking about Civitella D'Agliano.

The history of Civitella D'Agliano

Civitella d'Agliano actually has many stories to tell. Starting from the first traces of people who have lived in the territory can be traced back to the Etruscans, but we know that the territory had a demographic explosion at the end of the Roman Empire, when a large part of the population to defend themselves from the continuous barbarian invasions, decided to settle on a tufa rock, where the village still resides, a phenomenon known to historians of the period defined as "incastellamento".
