チェルヴァーロ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

"Death is not the end, but only a very specific end: namely, the end of a first, provisional period of life and the beginning of a never-ending new epoch. Jesus said, 'My kingdom is not of this world.' Therefore, there is another world. Not only his disciples, but also his opponents believed in this other world. The doctor of the law, for example, asks him what he must do 'to gain eternal life.' (...) Precisely because it lasts forever, this life is so precious that everything... of the present world pales in comparison." (Text by Albino Luciani / Pope John Paul I)

The frescoes and the modern art museum are definitely worth a visit. Tickets cost €6, and the complex is also open on Sundays (closed on Mondays). The visit lasts about an hour, if accompanied by the excellent volunteer guide included in the ticket.

It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

Climb that requires training, about 9km at 5/6% average gradient, but the view you see during the climb is worth the effort. Unfortunately they do not allow bikes in and currently there are no parking spaces for bikes, but you can take some photos.

Montecassino Abbey

Venafro Castle takes its name from the Pandone family, ancient owners of this medieval manor which was later transformed into a noble palace in the sixteenth century.

Pandone Castle is an ancient fortress transformed into a medieval palace. It recently became a national museum of Lombard origin, inside it houses sculptures and paintings by very famous painters such as Michelangelo, Raphael, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci and Van Gogh.

The Abbey of Montecassino, founded by San Benedetto da Norcia in 529 AD, is one of the oldest monasteries in Italy and the cradle of Western monasticism. Located in Cassino, between Rome and Naples, it was a spiritual and cultural center of great importance in the Middle Ages. Destroyed in 1944 during the battle of Monte Cassino, it was then faithfully rebuilt according to the original plans.
