Welcome to Tuscania

In 2018 instead of going into Rome again we elected to do an excursion from the port of Civitaecchia to this mountain village of Civita de Bagnorgia.  But first we stopped in the village of Tuscania, not to be confused with Tuscany, another more well known town and area famous for it’s wines.   It was a charming little town and it really was not a whole lot more than a photo stop for about an hour.  Pleasant enough place.
