Cantina Cominium

Reviewed By X1006DLstefanop

I brought my girlfriend from the US to the Cominium Vineyard on a stunning sunny November day. Maria welcomed us with so much grace and a big smile. Surrounded by the stunning mountains and villages of the Val di Comino, we learned so much about their wine (red, white and prosecco), extra virgin olive oil and the history of the vineyard. My favorite was the Atina Cabernet Reserve, an impressive red wine that tasted perfectly with the goat cheese that Maria served us! An amazing experience in the heart of Ciociaria. I'm from this region and I was so amused about how stunning the whole experience was!

Abbazia di Montecassino

Founded by St. Benedict in 529, this abbey has suffered devastation many times but has been magically recreated.

Reviewed By montefortino

The abbey is beautiful, not crowded and peaceful. The church is amazing. The views are breathtaking. At one point we even heard chanting faintly from somewhere within the abbey. Stop at the Polish Cemetery on your way in or out, where over 1,000 Polish soldiers under Allied Command are buried, falling to free Italy and the rest of Europe - the graves and monuments are very well done and very moving.

Museo e Cripta della Cattedrale di Anagni

The Crypt and the Museum of Anagni Cathedral: a backward journey through time to discover all the treasures that this important episcopal location holds. The Library is the first area to be visited and it is composed of a rich collection of 1814 volumes belonging to the period between the 15th century and the 20th century. The incunables (the first typography products) are truly valuable. They hailed from the origins to the 15th century, and for this reason they are called “quattrocentine” (that means belonging to the years between 1401 and 1499). There are approximately 450,000 incunables in the world, and at least 110,000 of them are preserved in Italy. Some of those are preserved in this library. The volumes concern various subjects: they are texts of local history, some Latin classics, and even an important copy of the Codex Justinianus of 1518. The location called ‘Chapter Hall’ takes the name from the Chapter, that is the gathering of the canons assigned to a church. The vault is adorned by some frescoes. The walnut and mahogany furniture shows an empire style, it dates back to 19th century. The three rooms of the Sacristies hold precious golden and silver objects. In particular, the XVI century busts of the two patrons of Anagni: St. Peter from Salerno and St. Magnus from Trani. The collection of the Treasure begins with Boniface VIII, but the first donations date back to the ninth century. The most valuable objects that are preserved are liturgical vestments and the famous casket of Thomas Becket, authentic fine work of Limoges from the second quarter of the XIII century, as well as miters and bags among the oldest in Europe. From the Treasure room one can enter the Medieval Chapel of the Savior. The Chapel holds peculiar pictorial decorations and wooden works of particular beauty. The Cathedral, built at the behest of Saint Peter of Salerno, was completed in 1104 and dedicated to the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary (St. Maria Annunziata). The indoor space is divided into three naves. Interventions made during the XIII century have introduced Gothic architectural elements in the presbytery. Belonging to the above-mentioned century there are the remarkable Cosmatesque flooring, the Episcopal Chair, the Easter Candelabra and finally the wall paintings that represent the Virgin with her Child and St. Peter’s head (this one, on the left pillar near the presbytery). The decorations in the apses go back to the XIX century. On the left wall of the Cathedral one can see the Lauri Chapel (XII century), the Baptistery and the Caetani Chapel (XIII century) holding an interesting Gothic funeral monument. On the right aisle there is the Raoli Chapel (XIX century). Below the flooring of the Cathedral there are two Crypts. The Oratory, dedicated to St. Thomas Becket, the English archbishop murdered in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, retains the antique structure of a mithraeum. Built in the early centuries of the Christian era, it still has the original sacrificial altar. The walls show an interesting series of paintings of uncertain date, although certainly consecutive to the canonization of the Saint (1173). The series contains scenes taken from the Old and New Testament, Theories of saints and apostles, the Last Judgment and interesting episodes related to St. Thomas Becket, including his martyrdom. St. Magnus’ Crypt, built together with the Cathedral, holds an extraordinary series of paintings of 540 Square meters realized by three artists’ workshops among the most skilled of the time. The date is between the XII century and the first half of the XIII century. The series tells the story of man’s salvation through reference to various topics: the creation of the universe and the human being based on philosophical and scientific theories, the Tale of the Ark of the Covenant, Stories of saints and the Apocalypse of John of Patmos. The altars preserve the relics of Saints and Martyrs, among which the most important are St. Magnus (patron saint of Anagni), St. Secondina (born in Anagni) and Peter the bishop. In the Lapidary, the ancient cloister, there are Roman, Early Christian, Medieval and Modern headstones. It is important to underline the presence of the liturgical furniture in the Carolingian Cathedral of the IX century, of precious plates decorated with Cosmatesque mosaics dating the XIII century and of the stunning archaeological section that hosts objects of rare beauty.

Reviewed By momariotti1969 - Cesena, Italy

The ticket is 9€, the best 9€ I've ever spent! The visit begins with the Diocesan museum, that has really good collections. I was really amazed at the inlaid reliquary of Saint T. Becket and the embroidered vestments. Some of then were created in the XIII century, but they look so modern!! The visit continues in the transetto of the cathedral and downstairs in the mitreo. The columns, the ciborio, the cosmatesco, the painted wall of the mitreo are wonderful, but the masterpiece is the Crypt. Except for one vault in 20, it is completely and beautifully frescoed. In the 80's the frescos were restored: deterioration, dust and efflorescences made room for vivid stories from the Bible and the life of Saint Magno: it's all so real, so alive, so intense!! Please notice that absolute silence is requested, and the lights are on just for fixed periods: it's absolutely necessary to preserve this wonder!
