    CONVENT OF THE MADONNA DEL PALAZZO
    FIRST PART
    An ancient popular legend has it that the convent of the Observant Minors of Rutigliano was erected near a small church under the title of Madonna del Palazzo, following a miraculous event; among the various testimonies regarding this event, the one transmitted to us by Father Serafino Montorio, back in 1715 deserves to be reported below. Rutigliano is a town of about 700 families and is proud of a miraculous Image of Mary with the nickname of the Palace, which began to make itself known in the following way; * (continues)

      SECOND PART
      2 miles away from Rutigliano was formerly a chapel dedicated to the Virgin under the aforementioned name, but abandoned. It happened one year that those campaigns were parched, due to the lack of water, and such was the drought, that when the wells and fountains dried up, men and animals died in huge numbers from thirst. Fearing those people who would also pass from thirst to hunger, accompanied by the clergy, they made various processions with acts of penance, making stations in various churches, hoping that the Lord had granted the desired rain, but all in vain. So it is that on the twenty-first day of April 1630, appearing to a devout Virgin, she said to her: Go and tell the Vicar General, all the Clergy, the Mayor and all this afflicted People, that since they have made processions to the Other Requests, so let them make one to my Chapel in Piscina lo Palazzo, which will be granted. *(continues)

        PART THREE

        The young girl obeyed and after reporting Mary's words, she didn't struggle much to persuade them what the Virgin had commanded. So the solemn procession was ordered on the day following the 21st hour. With a huge concurrence of men and women, adults and children, all asked for mercy. Arrived at the place indicated by the Mother of God, this caused a small cloud to appear above the Land of Castiglione, an indication of the already falling water. This cloud collected all the tears of the People, and then returned them in abundant rain, but not on that day. On the 23rd dedicated to the glorious Martyr St. George at 19.00 I saw the same cloud appear, and in the same place, near the aforementioned Chapel, above the river, from which it then took its name, remaining there for 3 continuous hours; then he sent down so much water around the edges of the swimming pool of the palace that not only the wells and fountains were filled; * (continues)
