テヴェリーナのカスティリオーネのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Arriving at the start of the bridge leading to Civita di Bagnoregio on a day of unstable weather, what struck me, beyond the magnificence of this village perched atop a limestone cliff, almost like an island on the mainland, was the ever-changing colors as the light changed. A light that changed with the sky, driven by the slow and incessant flow of clouds. A silent dance ensued between the shadows and hues of the tuff, the village, and the ravines, an ephemeral and unique spectacle, unlike anything I'd ever seen elsewhere.

The Chapel of Maria Santissima delle Carceri opens like a silent cave carved into the tuff of Civita di Bagnoregio, along the paths that descend beneath the suspended village. The name does not refer to an ancient prison, but to the Contrada Carcere, the medieval neighborhood that once occupied this part of the town. In 1695, a terrible earthquake caused much of the district to collapse into the valley below, leaving the cave exposed on the slope. From that void, a place of devotion was born, transformed into a chapel and dedicated to the Virgin. Inside, the bare rock and the simple altar speak of a faith intertwined with the fragility of the landscape.

Piazza Sant'Agostino opens in the heart of Bagnoregio, in front of the Church of the Santissima Annunziata, whose medieval origins reflect centuries of religious and civic life in the village. At the center of the space, the bronze monument to Saint Bonaventure marks the profound bond between this place and one of its most illustrious sons. Born here in 1218, Bonaventure entered the Franciscan Order at a very young age, becoming one of the closest interpreters and custodians of the thought of Saint Francis of Assisi. As Minister General of the Order, he consolidated the rule and spread its spiritual legacy throughout Europe. The statue portrays him as a guide and teacher, surrounded by scenes that recall his dialogue between faith, study, and Franciscan life.
