A story full of suggestions, where history, archeology, art, music, craftsmanship and faith meet in an exciting union, in the description of a "place of places" where the breath of time is an essential constant. We affectionately dedicate this documentary to the Benedictine community of San Martino Delle Scale.
We thank all those who made this result possible, starting with the speakers (in alphabetical order) Carmelo Di Fatta (vice-president of the Hora Benedicta association), Belinda Giambra (restorer), Daniela Raia (Archaeologist Soc. Coop. ArcheOfficina), Don Vittorio Rizzone (abbot of the monastic community of San Martino Delle Scale), Patrizia Sardina (teacher of Medieval History, UniPA), don Riccardo Tumminello (the youngest monk of the community of San Martino Delle Scale), Giovan Battista Vaglica (master organist).
We also thank the online magazine Impronta Magazine, directed by our press officer Rosario Ribbene; WeGlint, tourist information application managed by Giacomo Gaspari. A heartfelt thanks also goes to RodoArte ONLUS, of which EsunqueSicilia.it is a part, for having requested the necessary permits from the Fondo Edifici di Culto for the realization of this short-documentary, without any profit.
Thanks to the entire monastic community, which welcomed us with open arms and gave us full availability to access even the places of daily monastic life.
Thanks to the Hora Benedicta association, a lay group that manages the abbey's promotional activities, first of all the production of the special abbey beer.
Thanks to the guys from ArcheOfficina, courageous as well as effective cooperative society formed by professional archaeologists.
Thanks to the La Fianna association, a historical re-enactment group, which provided us with some clips to narrate some moments of our story with images.
