EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of a Tuscan sun, the enchanting Italian town of Chiusi della Verna unfolds before us. Nestled in the heart of the Casentino region, east of Florence, this picturesque comune in the Province of Arezzo is a testament to Italy's rich history and spiritual heritage. At the heart of Chiusi della Verna lies the renowned Sanctuary of La Verna, a place of profound significance for Catholics and history enthusiasts alike. This sacred site is inextricably linked to Saint Francis of Assisi, the revered Italian saint and founder of the Franciscan Order. It was here, in 1224, that Saint Francis received the stigmata, the five wounds of Christ, in a vision. The Sanctuary of La Verna is a breathtaking architectural marvel, a harmonious blend of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. Its terraced structure clings to the rugged mountain slopes, offering visitors awe-inspiring vistas of the surrounding landscape. Monks and friars continue to reside here, preserving the sanctuary's tranquil atmosphere and maintaining its spiritual traditions. Chiusi della Verna's charm extends beyond its religious significance. The town's narrow, winding streets are lined with charming houses, their warm, earthy hues reflecting the region's Tuscan heritage. The town's proximity to Florence and Arezzo makes it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a deeper connection with Italy's history and culture. As the sun sets over Chiusi della Verna, the town takes on an ethereal quality, a fitting reminder of the spiritual journey that began here centuries ago. This enchanting Italian gem invites us to pause, reflect, and appreciate the beauty and richness of Italy's past.
