San Giovanni Rotondo is famous all over the world as the native city of St. Pio (known as Padre Pio) of Pietrelcina, and as the city where the venerated monk worked his miracles. Pio was beatified in 2002.In the Capuchin Monastery Padre Pio received the stigmata in 1918, and there where all those supernatural events that led to his sainthood and canonization took place as well. It is a destination that the devout and tourists alike should make every effort to visit. The Church’s crypt also hosted, up until a few years ago, the tomb of St. Pio. The Sanctuary of the Archangel Michael, or San Michele, in the grotto dates from the 5th – 6th centuries and is the site where devotion to the Archangel Michael began. The original grotto of San Michele is said to have been consecrated by the archangel and is the only church not consecrated by human hands.

Amazing day with Luigi and Rossana up in San Giovanni Rotondo. My brother and I were doing a pilgrimage through a few sacred sites in Italy, so Rossana made sure to reserve time for Mass and prayer in addition to observation of the incorrupt body of St. Padre Pio. We had time to visit his “cella” (apartment we’re he lived), and the convent and old church we’re he preached. Precious opportunity, amazing views. We had lunch at a local restaurant with super good food before heading back to Rome. Recommend this trip to anyone who wants to have a taste of Italy’s Adriatic Coast and explore the mistery of a blessed mystic saint of modern times. Professionally handled by Rome Italy Explora, I recommend it highly.

Also known as the Capitanata or Daunia, the Province of Foggia marks the northern border of Apulia, near Molise and Campania. The eastern part is occupied by the promontory of Gargano, the "spur of the boot," and the beautiful Tremiti Islands, a favorite destination for the many visitors who every year choose an Apulian vacation. The numerous locations along the Adriatic coast offer many opportunities for fun and relaxation, especially for beach lovers and those interested in taking excursions through nature. But the charm of the hinterland is in no way inferior to the beauty of the seascape. The Tavoliere is the largest plain in the south of Italy, with its wide expanses of grain fields that shine in the summer sun and are interrupted only by the Dauni Mountains, at intervals covered with green woods. The colors, scents and sounds endow this landscape with its own particular charm. A land rich in history, archaeological excavations have uncovered its first signs of settlement, from imposing Medieval castles to a wealth of religious buildings. And, a genuine, artisan cuisine makes a trip to the Province of Foggia even more pleasant.
