Hi <BR> <BR>I'm planning a trip to Italy from May 12 to May 26, 2001. I am staing in the town of Viterbo at the villa Le Terrae. Does anyone know of any events, festivals, or sights that shouldn't be missed that are occuring at that time? <BR> <BR>Kathy

Kathy, <BR> <BR>Where is this place, Viterbo? What region? Will you be staying there the entire time, or is this your starting point?

Kathy, <BR>Last night I tried to find a site for Viterbo. <BR>I went to yahoo, went to travel, then Italy, then went to cities. <BR>Viterbo came up with a site and the sidebar listed all kinds of things, but when I tried to access them , it just stopped and would not go anyfurther. <BR>Not sure if it was me/computer, the time of day, or just that the site does not work, but you could try it again. <BR>Good luck in you search. <BR>nancy

Holly, <BR> <BR>The villa is in the territory of the Ancient Etruscans, south of Tuscany. Boundary of Umbria and Northern Lazio. You may view it at www.leterrae.com. It says 1 hour from Rome and 2 from Florence. <BR> <BR>I plan to visit Rome, Venice, and Pisa if time permits. <BR> <BR>I just wanted to know if there were any spots that people might know of that I shouln't miss. <BR> <BR>Thanks for your interest.

Hi, <BR> <BR>On my little wanderings, I happened across an JEWEL of a website. <BR> <BR>try <BR> <BR>www.hostetler.net <BR> <BR>talk about thorough and methodical researching of all things Italian! <BR> <BR>good luck! <BR> <BR>Beth

Kathy, <BR> <BR>I've recently come across 3 web sites for informaiton on Viterbo and the local area: <BR> <BR>http://www.promotuscia.it/welcome_eng.html <BR>http://www.touring.it/bassano/index.html <BR>http://www.viterboonline.net/ <BR> <BR>Good luck!!

I take it you'll have a car while in Viterbo. The following are within a radius of 1:20 hours driving (one way): <BR>Orvieto, Todi, Amelia, Terni, Spoleto, Narni, Civita Castellana, Caprarola, Tarquinia, Tuscania, Bolsena, Pitigliano, Sorano, San Salvatore Abbey, Bagnoregio, among others. <BR> <BR>Very close to Viterbo you may consider the Villa Lante in Bagnaia, the Roman theatre in Ferento, Montefiascone, and Lago Vico. <BR> <BR>Once you're on the edge of Umbria, it may also pay to visit Umbrian web pages for events taking place mid-May. <BR>http://www.argoweb.it/umbria/umbria.uk.html <BR> <BR>Paulo <BR>
