Borgo Fantasma The abandoned old town center gives the village a mysterious and ghostly quality, which is why the municipality named it Borgo Fantasma ('ghost village'). In recent years, Celleno has sought to highlight and revitalize the village's assets, following the example of the tourist attraction Cività di Bagnoregio. The village is somewhat reminiscent of Cività di Bagnoregio, and there's a bridge leading to it. However, there are no buses with Chinese or Japanese tourists, and there's no entrance fee. Here, you'll find only the peace and quiet of a distant past. In recent years, Celleno has organized numerous activities to attract tourists: there are festivals with street performers and open-air cinemas in the summer, and during the Christmas season, the village presents a live nativity scene. Couples also find their way to Borgo Fantasma to get married.

Celleno is a village located along the road from Bagnoregio to Viterbo. It seems unremarkable, and at first glance, not even very pretty. However, if you take the exit to the "centro storico," you'll drive through what is now the long, sprawling village and arrive at a panoramic viewpoint. There, you'll have a beautiful view of the San Rocco Monastery and Monte Cimino. Before the old bridge, there's a charming square with a bar and a restaurant. On the right side of the road are beautiful colorful houses. Until a few years ago, the old houses in the centro storico were completely dilapidated and overgrown with plants. In recent years, this village has been revitalized, and you can follow a walking route. Several houses have been restored and represent various crafts.

Baschi is a quaint village in the province of Terni. The historic center still retains its ancient medieval charm, with vaulted ceilings and narrow alleys so small they're called "holes" by locals. Outside the medieval area lies the more modern part of town, where shops and accommodations can be found.
