An important event took place on May 17, 2024 in Calabria, with the interventions of the Arch. Pasquale Lopetrone and Dr. Giuseppe Riccardo Succurro, as part of the meeting “The Domus Florense of Canale, last home of Gioacchino da Fiore”, the place where, two centuries earlier, the Basilian monks who came to Abruzzo at the end of the 10th century lived.

With the restoration, the ancient early medieval temple, which in the 18th century had been transformed into a grange reduced to a poor state of conservation due to the use made of it.
While the restorations were still in progress, the architect of the superintendency Lopetrone, becoming aware of the our research on the Basilian monks of Prata (published on the web in 2004, precisely to make it usable beyond regional borders) he was immediately interested in it and wanted reserve an area dedicated to these monks too, using the visual material we have made available to print and set up the panels in the small room adjacent to the church.

But inside the church we also find San Falco and his brothers, who passed through here before arriving in Abruzzo. The place is worth a visit – continues the Architect Stumpy – to touch one of the artefacts that Gioacchino wanted to recover after various destructions due to numerous earthquakes. Then fate wanted him to fall asleep here forever“
