face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">Certainly spirituality has been the powerful trace since San Francesco, after the donation of the mount by Conte Orlando in 1213, has lived in this place in a solitary and contemplative way.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">One of the famous Chapels, The Stimmate one, at the end of a long corridor, still keeps the rock of the miracle and in another wet cave a rock is venerated as the bed of the Saint.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">Art here is a continuous reference to the spirituality which is in the air: from the Tuscan lines of the '400 Basilica to the Robbiane Terracotte of the Annunciazione and the Nativity.</font></p> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial" size="3">The whole mount with its vegetation is a Sanctuary: it is full of paths for those who want to get in contact with nature in silence, admiring the landscapes, sometimes almost unreal, like the Sasso Spicco, a huge rock which is linked to the mountain just by a corner. However the Convent and the lodge offer the pilgrims a comfortable place to enjoy their staying.</font></td> <td width="1" rowspan="3" bgcolor="#669999"><p align="center"><img src="../../Ubicazione/ImmaginiUbicazione/un_pixel_gv.GIF" alt="un_pixel_gv.GIF (807 byte)" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1"></td> <td width="175"><p align="right"><small><small><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial">La Verna Sanctuary</font></small></small></td> <td width="10" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="175"><img src="../../Ubicazione/ImmaginiUbicazione/Santuario_La_Verna.JPG" alt="Santuario de La Verna1.JPG (12819 byte)" WIDTH="175" HEIGHT="241"></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="175"><img src="../../Ubicazione/ImmaginiUbicazione/Stimmate.JPG" alt="Giotto, San Francesco riceve le stimmate.JPG (11845 byte)" WIDTH="175" HEIGHT="255"></td> <td width="175"><small><small><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial">Giotto: San Francesco receives the Stigmate (particular) Assisi, San Francesco, Basilica Superior</font></small></small></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="175"><p align="right"><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><small><small>Andrea Della Robbia ,Nativity, La Verna, Basilica di San Francesco</small></small></font></td> <td width="10"></td> <td width="175"><img src="../../Ubicazione/ImmaginiUbicazione/Della_Robbia_Natività.jpg" alt="Della Robbia-Natività .jpg (18631 byte)" WIDTH="175" HEIGHT="245"></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <p> </p> <div align="center"><center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" width="100%"> <tr> <td><p align="left"><a name="distanza"></a><img src="../../Ubicazione/ImmaginiUbicazione/automobile.GIF" alt="auto (1820 byte)" WIDTH="62" HEIGHT="42"></td> <td><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><small>Distance from the Alta Valle del Metauro <strong>63 km. 65 min</strong>. by car</small></font></td> </tr> </table> </center></div> <p><font face="Century Gothic, Helvetica, Verdana, Arial"><small>For more information we suggest other sites about La Verna, the webs will be linked inside new windows.
