If you look out over the lake, you can see the island of San Giulio. From that island, one day in October 1590, a procession led by Amico Canobio and many other notables from Orta left by boat for the ancient church of San Nicolao.
They wanted to lay the first stone of the new Franciscan convent of Orta. That day the history of this place changed so that today you can visit the twenty chapels of the Sacro Monte.
This is the end of our journey through time, but if you want to find out more about Francis and the Sacro Monte, you can continue with the tour Between real life and represented life. If you want to put yourself to the test, try the game How much does it cost?
