Civita di Bagnoregio: Italy s dying town seeks UNESCO recognition
07 Apr, 2021
A hilltop village 110 km north of Rome has been proposed officially for UNESCO honour.
Civita di Bagnoregio, a clifftop village surging out of a valley in Italy s central Lazio region, has been proposed for World Heritage Status by the Italian UNESCO commission.
If successful, the Cultural Landscape of Civita di Bagnoregio could enter the prestigious UNESCO list in 2022, in a proposal backed by Civita and the Lazio region with the support of Italy s culture ministry.
Pompeii was a Roman town in Southern Italy s Campania region situated along the Bay of Naples. The town was completely buried by volcanic ash after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE, over 2000 years ago.
