Sabina, described and immortalized
by writers and poets in Roman times, was
singled out by that great Italian, S. Francis of
Assisi, who expressed his love of nature and all
her marvels in his "Canticle of Creation".
He loved the Sabina region above all others,
and in particular the area between the Valley
and the surrounding heights.
There are four Franciscan shrines in the Valle
Santa of Rieti and the neighbouring hills. They
are called the Santuario di Poggio Bustone,
Santuario della Foresta, Santuario di Fonte
Colombo and Santuario di Greccio.
Leaving the Spoleto Valley, S. Francis went to
pray to the hills overlooking Poggio Bustone,
10 miles from Rieti; it is said that the saint
greeted the local people with the simple words
"Good day to you good people". In the wildest
part of the mountain, he found two caves where
he prayed and chastised himself in penance;
during his meditation he was assured of
forgiveness of his sins and was told that his
brethren, the new apostoles, would grow in
number.
2/, miles from Rieti is the Santuario della
Foresta, a shrine on the place where S. Francis
stopped to have his eyes treated while travelling
to Rieti at the invitation of Cardinal Ugolino, in
1225.
