The Via Romea towards Rome starts again from Orvieto and passes through Porano, Lubriano and Civita Bagnoregio, before continuing to Montefiascone, where the Via Romea Germanica joins the Via Francigena.
You leave Orvieto via Porta Romana in the direction of Arcone. A beautiful climb on a cobbled surface leads to the Convento dei Cappuccini, and then continues on a flatter stretch. From the top, you can enjoy a splendid view of Orvieto and, in the surrounding area, there are also Etruscan tombs. You continue to climb up to Castel Rubello and then reach Porano.
In front of the Castle of Porano, it is worth going in to walk through the inner courtyards and admire the medieval structure; the old town, with its imposing tuff walls, is also worth a visit.
From Porano, you enter Lazio along a cart track immersed in the countryside, on a picturesque and very peaceful plateau. Once in Lubriano, you can visit the church and the historic centre, which overlook a deep ravine. On the other side is Civita Bagnoregio, perched on a tuffaceous spur similar to that of Lubriano.
To reach Civita, it is important to inquire about the condition of the path, as it may be affected by landslides. The route is fascinating and well-marked, but not always passable; in case of difficulty, it is recommended to be accompanied by a local guide. Alternatively, you can follow the paved provincial road starting from the Lubriano Town Hall.
