Calcata, the Artist’s Haven
Planning to spend your whole Italian vacation in crowded cities? There’s so much more waiting beyond the usual stops. Just an hour north of Rome sits Calcata—an ancient cliffside town that was abandoned for decades, only to be brought back to life by artists and free spirits. Today its cobbled alleys, dramatic views, and bohemian character make it one of Italy’s most enchanting villages—and a place most travelers never even hear about.
