Poggio Bustone, Medieval commune in Province of Rieti, Italy
Located at 756 meters elevation, Poggio Bustone extends across 22.3 square kilometers of hillside terrain in the northeastern section of Lazio region.
In 1208, Saint Francis of Assisi arrived at Poggio Bustone with six disciples, establishing a monastery and greeting locals with 'Good morning, good people'.
The Sanctuary of San Giacomo contains a 17th-century refectory with frescoes depicting the Last Supper and various Franciscan order saints.
The town maintains several hiking trails connecting to neighboring communes of Cantalice, Leonessa, Rieti, and Rivodutri, offering access to mountain activities.
The Grotto of Revelations marks the exact location where Saint Francis encountered an angel who granted him forgiveness of sins.
