Description

Thank you for your visit. I'll appreciate any comment or suggestion. Better view with zoom in. Sono molti anni ormai che tra chiese, paesi sperduti e vecchi libri si cerca invano di scoprire dove riposano le spoglie di Papa Silverio, patrono di Ponza. Ricostruire vicende di oltre mille anni fa non e' cosi' semplice, soprattutto in questo caso dove un'incredibile mancanza di fonti attendibili rende l'impresa veramente ardua. Le ricerche partono dalla tragica morte di S. Silverio avvenuta nell'anno 537. Il suo corpo fu sistemato nella chiesa benedettina di S. Maria in Ponza, cioe' nello stesso luogo dove aveva trascorso gli amari giorni del suo esilio. (www.ponza.com) For many years till now that in churches, countries and old books trying in vain to find out where the remains of Pope Silverio, the patron saint of Ponza. Reconstruct the events of more than a thousand years ago is not 'so' easy, especially in this case where an incredible lack of reliable sources makes the company really difficult. The research starts from the tragic death of St. Silverio took place in the year 537. His body was placed in the Benedictine church of S. Maria in Ponza, that is in the same place where he had spent the bitter days of his exile. (google translation from www.ponza.com)
