I started the day by filming a walk around the base perimeter of Orvieto which will actually be placed at the end of the walking tour video. In Orvieto, I was able to film Saint Patrick’s Well, the Pozzo della Cava, the Torre del Moro, and the Orvieto Underground as well as a full city tour. Click the link below to see a map of the walk.

May 5th Ghost Towns and Roman Ruins

I left my B&B in Orvieto and started driving to Perugia. On the way, I decided to stop by a ghost town called, "Il borgo fantasma di Celleno." I loved it! It is similar, and close by, to Civita di Bagnoregio. While Civita di Bagnoregio is known as the Dying City, Celleno really is a dead city. Most of the town has collapsed into the ravine below. However, they have the remaining structures set up as a free museum! There are exhibits of tools, houses, shops, kitchens, wine cellars, etc. There are even a couple guys there who run the museum that are just waiting for visitors! Check it out on Google Maps by clicking on the link below. I filmed a tour but did not get too many pictures. It started raining right when I finished filming. I plan to go back and fly my drone there before I leave.

Afterwards, I drove to Carsulae, an ancient Roman town in the Umbrian countryside filled with ruins including an amphitheater, theater and mausoleum. I filmed tour around the site. It was very quiet. I left Carsulae at around 4pm and arrived in Perugia at 5pm.

I am still working on how to best format this newsletter, so don't be surprised if the next one looks completely different. :) Ciao! Ciao! -Isaac
