I visited Civita with my wife Marion last spring, and while it’s been gaining some popularity, we saw no more than a handful of visitors during our weekday visit. Walking through the ancient passage way into the town – it felt like we were in a dream. With its interesting architecture, silent stone alleyways, peace and serenity – Civita can be a welcomed respite from some of Italy’s more touristy towns. It has a small bed and breakfast, along with a restaurant or two - but just beyond the town’s small piazza is an ancient olive press. We sat in a charmingly rustic room while enjoying some fantastic bruschetta (toasted in a stone oven) and red house wine!
Our visit to this amazing little town will always rank as one of my all-time favorites - not just because of what I saw, but because of what I felt. Our lives are filled with crowded supermarkets, restaurants and movie theatres – busy offices and city streets. But for just a few hours during a beautiful spring afternoon – it was just the two of us – in a magical setting – a make believe place. It was truly a walk in the clouds.
