An exceptional construction adjacent to a rock, which makes this hermitage unique.

As a patron saint, this hermitage has a name that is on everyone's lips, but probably only a few people will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Silvestro is on December 31st. He lived at the end of the third and beginning of the fourth century and was bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Tolerance" of Milan, and thus - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians ended.
