THE ETERNAL CITY

In May 2019 I went on a school trip to Rome and I really had a great time.

Rome is the capital city of Italy and it is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Lots of tourists from all over the world visit the city every year because of its historic monuments and art sites.

It is in Lazio, a region which is in west-central Italy. From Subiaco, you can easily reach the city by car or by bus. It will take you about an hour and a half.

Rome is not the ideal place to visit on a day trip because the city is huge! Anyway, I can suggest a very interesting sightseeing tour  which you can take in just one day!

“You take delight not in a city’s seven or seventy wonders, but in the answer it gives to a question of yours.”

Italo Calvino, “Invisible Cities”

A DAY TRIP TO CIVITA DI BAGNOREGIO

Last month I went to Civita di Bagnoregio with my parents and my cousin. It is one of  the most beautiful medieval towns in Italy and a very popular tourist destination. In fact, every year more than 700 000 people go there  from all over the world to admire this breathtaking town.

It is famous for its nickname: “the Dying Town”.  

It is located on the top of  a tuff hill  which is constantly eroded, consequently the town always risks disappearing. Today only eleven people live there.      

It is in central Italy, in the province of Viterbo;  it is about 120 km from Rome and by train or car it only takes you about  two hours to get there.  You can visit this town on a day trip because you will need about three hours for sightseeing. I recommend bringing suitable footwear because the only way to visit Civita di Bagnoregio  is on foot. As soon as you arrive, you will find yourself  in a parking area where you have to pay a €5 ticket. To reach the centre of the town you have to cross a 300 metre long bridge which connects the old town with the new one. While walking across the bridge, you can enjoy the  spectacular landscape of  "Valle dei Calanchi".                

The historic centre is an attraction in itself, but there are other places of interest such as Colesanti, Bocca and Alemanni Palaces, built during the Renaissance. In Alemanni Palace  you can visit the Geological and Landslides Museum. Another important building is the Church of San Donato  which overlooks the main square and  where a holy wooden crucifix is kept.  

  

Civita di Bagnoregio has some small shops of handcrafted products and souvenirs. If you are hungry, there is the possibility to find small restaurants, taverns and bars  where you can try some typical dishes, for example “fettuccine with chicken entrails sauce” or “polenta with truffle”  ... I am sure you will enjoy them! 

You can also download an app to get all the information you need  about the best places to eat and drink as well as the tours to choose.  I loved this atmospheric  town very much because it seems like a magical place where time has stopped in medieval times.

Ivonne Ciocchetti,  2^C  Linguistico

RELATIVE CLAUSES

A relative clause is one kind of dependent clause. It has a subject and verb, but can’t stand alone as a sentence.  A relative clause always begins with a “relative pronoun,” which substitutes for a noun, a noun phrase, or a pronoun when sentences are combined.
