Pocket city guide : Calcata

Calcata, Lazio, Italy 

It is sad that the small ancient towns are abandoned by their inhabitants because there's no chance of surviving there.
Calcata is an example of rebirthing place. In fact, since the end of the 70's, artists came to live in it, bringing totally brand new vibes to the place.

Nowadays Calcata is a fairy tale place, fully immersed into the nature, whose citizens are just artists that live in their houses that are their laboratories as well.



Where is it.
It's only 40 km north of Rome.

What to do.

Calacta is one of the most pitoresque places, full of colors, ancient buildings, curious people and artists.
You can also eat in one of the small traditional restaurants.
No doubt, it's worth to see.
