Rotella. Hermitage of San Francesco

In the territory of Poggio Canoso, along the road from Rotella to the Ascension mountain, there is an ancient convent, one of the first Franciscan hermitages built in the region. Tradition has it that it was San Francesco himself, perhaps bringing back everything that was already existing Benedictine, to choose the place that would host his convent and remain there for a night. The convent of Poggio Canoso was suppressed on 18 December 1653. After the uncertainties about its use, the convent finally received the attention it deserved and from 1989 to 2009 it was the seat of the "Meeting Community" of Don Pierino Gelmini. The boys, guests of the center, with precise and assiduous work, managed to restore the church, the cloister and all the ancient Franciscan structures to the splendors of the times of the conventual fathers.
