In the heart of Sila Piccola, an Italian region, lies the Abbazia di Santa Maria di Corazzo – a monastery that's been breathing life once more after a significant restoration phase worth around €1.2 million. The occasion, marked by the Vice-President and the Mayor of Carlopoli, along with other notable attendees, celebrated the unveiling of portions of the abbey’s walls and arches. This renovation enabled easier navigation through the church and its underground passages, like the 'stanza dei morti' adjoining the ossuary. Two hidden inscriptions were also found, one potentially linking the church’s dedication to the Virgin of Corazzo. The intriguing tales and enigmas clouding the abbey make a pilgrimage to this historical site a thrilling exploration.
