SAN GIOVANNI ROTONDO
This is a destination to visit at least once in a lifetime, because here time seems to have stood still in an era where history is still very much evident.
San Giovanni Rotondo is the town that tells the touching story of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina and has always been the object of continuous pilgrimages from all over the world.The Sanctuary designed by Renzo Piano, where the saint's remains rest, or the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Sanctuary of Padre Pio are wonderful.
It is equally beautiful to wander along the streets of the historic centre in a town suggestive for its simplicity, with narrow alleys, balconies and ornamental plants.
