Vespatour 2006 part 19: San Giovanni Rotondo and Vieste

April 19th, 2009 by Albegor

My relatives from Bisceglie are deeply devoted to Padre Pio and they told me a lot about San Giovanni Rotondo.
So, on August 28, 2006, I went there with my Vespa to visit that holy place so important for all the devoted to the brother from Pietrelcina.
It was an important stop even for me, especially after having been in Assisi and at the Eremo delle Carceri of San Francesco a few days earlier, the other brother great example of humility.
Deep thinking and meditation are the words I could associate with my visit to the places where Padre Pio lived and received the stigmates, now valorized by the modern church designed by Renzo Piano.
After the visit to San Giovanni Rotondo, before going back to Bisceglie, I went to the beach in Vieste on the splendid Gargano coast.
When I was a kid I used to spend the summer holidays there, in a camping with my family, and there I learned to swim! :D
The 53 photos of the nineteen gallery describe the last two days in Apulia.
On August 30 I was going to leave from Bisceglie to the last stop of the Vespatour: Recanati, searching for the hedge of the infinity! :)
