Abruzzo and Molise

Piazza Garibaldi

    On the other side of the aqueduct is Piazza Garibaldi, a vast square dominated by the austere slopes of Monte Morrone, on which the hermit Pietro Morrone lived until he was dragged away to be made Pope Celestine V. There's a former nunnery in the corner – take a look at the courtyard, where there's a tiny door at which unmarried mothers were permitted to abandon their babies.
