«Benedetto finds his home again and continues to speak to us and to the world and teaches us another way, as he interpreted it, of building society and looking at the common good”: this is what he said toHANDLE Monsignor Renato Boccardo, bishop of the diocese of Spoleto-Norcia, on the occasion of the reopening of the Basilica of San Benedetto, completely restored, exactly nine years after the 6.5 magnitude earthquake that hit central Italy on 30 October 2016 and crumbled the spiritual and identity symbol of Norcia.
«Nine years ago there were stones scattered all over the square, as well as disoriented and frightened people. Today those same stones are placed one on top of the other and restore the original beauty to this place which is not only the heart of Norcia, but also a point of reference for the whole world” he added
