Main content

Clive makes a wriggly catch on a fishing expedition across Europe’s biggest volcanic lake and discovers how scientists are fighting to save an ancient citadel from destruction.

Clive heads north from Lazio’s capital, Rome, to the dramatic valleys of Italy’s badlands, out of which rises the fairy-tale citadel of Civita di Bagnoregio - Lazio’s ghost town.

Meeting one of the 20 remaining residents, Clive finds out what it’s like to be outnumbered by a million annual visitors, and he explores the ancient tunnels beneath the town to discover why it’s slowly crumbling to dust.
