Civita was founded 2500 years ago by the Etruscans. It stands on one of the oldest roads in Italy, connecting the Tiber (at the time a major navigation route in central Italy) and Lake Bolsena
Formerly known by the name of Bagnorea. The toponym probably derives from Balneum Regis, in reference to the presence of thermal waters with particular therapeutic properties.
The church of San Bonaventura da Bagnoregio is a Catholic place of worship in the municipality of Bagnoregio, in the province of Viterbo, in the diocese of Viterbo.
On the site of the current church, another church once stood, dedicated to Sant'Angelo. This was acquired on March 13, 1632 by the Company of San Bonaventura, which began to officiate the church with the title of San Bonaventura da Bagnoregio.
