Calcata

**Calcata** is a *[[comune]]* an toun in the Province o Viterbo in the Italian region Lazio, locatit 47&nbsp;km north o Roum bi caur, owerleukin the valley o Treja river.

Calcata borders the follaein municipalities: Faleria, Magliano Romano, Mazzano Romano, Rignano Flaminio.

In the 1930s, the hill touns's fortifeed historic centre wis condemned bi the govrenment for fear that the volcanic cliffs the auncient commonty wis built upon wad collapse.  Local residents muived tae nearbi Calcata Nuova.  In the 1960s, the emptied historical centre began  tae be repopulatit bi airtists an hippies who squattit in its medieval stane an masonry structurs. Mony o the squatters eventually purchased their homes, the govrenment reversed its condemnation order, an the residents o wha haed become a airtistic commonty  began restorin the auncient toun.

This trend haes continued. The day the toun haes a thrivin airtistic commonty describit in the New York Times as wha "mey be the grooviest veelage in Italy, hame tae a wacky commonty o about 100 airtists, bohemians, agin hippies an New Age teeps."

The historical centre now includes restaurants, cafes, and art galleries.
