Civita ... no more than a couple of hours. Another hilltop town in the area is Orvieto. Putting these two towns together as an itinerary might make for a fun day.

I agree with Hank on both points.

The facade of the Duomo at Orvieto is the most fascinating one in Italy - you can see that the scenes of hell and damnation would scare the daylights of the faithful and into virtue!

The Capella Nuova inside contains outstanding frescoes by Luca Signorelli that were studied by Michelangelo for his own Last Judgement fresco in the Sistine Chapel.
