Padre Pio and St. Michael the Archangel Private Tour from Rome
Overview
San Giovanni Rotondo is famous all over the world as the native city of St. Pio (known as Padre Pio) of Pietrelcina and as the city where the venerated monk worked his miracles. Pio was beatified in 2002. In the Capuchin Monastery, Padre Pio received the stigmata in 1918, and there were all those supernatural events that led to his sainthood and canonization that took place as well. It is a destination that the devout and tourists alike should make every effort to visit. The Church’s crypt also hosted, up until a few years ago, the tomb of St. Pio. The Sanctuary of the Archangel Michael, or San Michele, in the grotto dates from the 5th-6th centuries and is the site where devotion to the Archangel Michael began. The original grotto of San Michele is said to have been consecrated by the archangel and is the only church not consecrated by human hands.
