Culture Discovery Vacations

DiscoverSoriano has a new name and a new website!
As we have grown to offer cooking, culinary, and culture vacations that expand beyond out home-base of Soriano nel Cimino, we have chosen to change to a new name that better reflects who we are. Please visit our new website. You will find all of our vacations, plus much more information, many more photos, videos and quite a bit more! http://www.culturediscovery.com

The one thing that we can say that has made this trip to Italy so special was having Carla (and Rita and both of you), as our contacts and you have made us feel like family.

Description

This is VERY off the beaten path, but one of the most amazing things you will see. It is a completely abandoned Etruscan/Roman settlement with cave dwellings, an old temple, and a necropolis dug out of volcanic rock The structures here date from prehistoric times, to medieval times.

As yoou walk the trails through this amazing site, you will find youself awestruck as the trails wind through the ruins of a medieval fortress, then alongside cliffs where you can walk down carved steps into caves that were inhabited thousands of years ago by the mysterious Etruscans, then through the ruins of an ancient church.

As you navigate the trails of Corviano, at one point you simply stumble upon an ancient necropolis that is simply unmistakeable. You can see the forms of the bodies carved out of the volcanic rock while you simply feel life as it was in another time.

Corviano is a once in a lifetime experience that should not be missed.
