Vitorchiano

Tucked between the Vezza valley and the Cimini Hills, Vitorchiano is a place whose character is shaped by peperino, the grey volcanic stone used throughout its historic core. The town rises on a steep rocky outcrop near Viterbo, with medieval walls, towers and tightly drawn lanes following the contours of the site. Peperino gives façades, portals and civic buildings their sober, durable texture, linking local geology directly to the built environment. A moai carved in peperino by Rapa Nui sculptors is an unexpected modern landmark and a reminder of the stone’s sculptural qualities.
