*** Why Guardea?***
Guardea is an Italian town of 1,836 inhabitants in the province of Terni, located between the Orvieto and Amerino areas. The town is also located on the border with the Lazio region of the province of Viterbo. The peculiarity of the name is due, with few doubts, to the singular morphology of the territory, which constituted an efficient watchtower, towering above the teverina valley - above all from the ancient hill town of the town, today called "Guardea vecchia". The name "Guardea" could derive from the German wald (forest) or the French garde (surveillance site). The village is currently located at the foot of two hills: Guardea Vecchia and il Poggio, where the medieval castle stands.
In the municipality there is also part of the valley of the badlands, which extend up to the Viterbo tuscia in the municipality of Bagnoregio.
In the territory of Madonna del Porto (municipality of Guardea) there is the entrance to the Natural Oasis of Lake Alviano as well as a large part of the lake itself, which also extends to the municipalities of Alviano, and Civitella d'Agliano.
