"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)

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.

This castle can also be reached from the road that leads from Cassino to Montecassino. The fortification, which dominates the city from a steep cliff (193 m above sea level), was built around the middle of the 10th century by the abbot of Montecassino Aligerno, to defend the abbey.

Teatro Romano is an interesting open-air museum; a well-preserved complex on the mountainside with beautiful views of the town of Cassino in the valley, although it doesn't offer such a great picture!

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.

Well-preserved Roman theater, it could accommodate up to 2,500 spectators. Nowadays it is still used for cultural events and demonstrations, especially in the summer period
