A B-17 Flying Fortress is readied for another mission at the US Army Eighth Air Force base somewhere in England - date unknown
⛪ Convento dei Frati Passionisti — Monte Argentario
El convento —también llamado Convento della Presentazione— fue fundado por San Paolo della Croce (Paolo Danei, 1694-1775), quien de camino a Roma en 1722 pasó por el Monte Argentario y quedó cautivado por su belleza y serenidad. En 1728 volvió y pidió ocupar una pequeña y abandonada ermita dedicada a San Antonio para convertirla en lugar de retiro y oración.
Según la leyenda, el propio santo trazó con un bastón en el suelo el perímetro del futuro convento. La primera piedra se colocó el 4 de marzo de 1733 (con la inscripción “Dios os salve 1733”), y el edificio se inauguró el 14 de septiembre de 1737, dedicado a la Presentación de la Santísima Virgen en el Templo.
️ En su interior destacan obras como La Virgen con el Niño entregando a San Pablo de la Cruz el proyecto del convento (Pietro Aldi, 1880), la Presentación de María en el templo (Sebastiano Conca) y la venerada Madonna di Monte Argentario (Pompeo Batoni).
👑 Un dato curioso: el 12 de diciembre de 2000, el Papa Juan Pablo II se detuvo por sorpresa, sin previo aviso, a rezar en la pequeña capilla del convento. El lugar también fue muy querido por Susanna Agnelli (alcaldesa de Monte Argentario entre 1974 y 1984), que pidió expresamente que sus funerales se celebraran allí.
🌲 Situado a 273 metros de altitud, rodeado de bosque, hoy sigue habitado por una decena de padres pasionistas, y ofrece una de las mejores vistas panorámicas del Argentario, de las lagunas de Orbetello y de los dos tómbolos de arena que unen la montaña a la Toscana.
⛪ Convento dei Frati Passionisti — Monte Argentario
The convent — also known as Convento della Presentazione — was founded by St. Paul of the Cross (Paolo Danei, 1694-1775), who passed through Monte Argentario on his way to Rome in 1722 and fell in love with its beauty and peace. In 1728 he returned and asked to occupy a small, long-abandoned hermitage dedicated to St. Anthony, turning it into a place of retreat and prayer.
Legend has it that the saint himself traced the convent’s perimeter on the ground with a stick. The first stone was laid on 4 March 1733 (inscribed “God save you 1733”), and the building was inaugurated on 14 September 1737, dedicated to the Presentation of the Most Holy Mary in the Temple.
️ Inside, notable works include The Virgin and Child Handing St. Paul of the Cross the Convent’s Design (Pietro Aldi, 1880), the Presentation of Mary in the Temple (Sebastiano Conca), and the much-venerated Madonna di Monte Argentario (Pompeo Batoni).
👑 A curious fact: on 12 December 2000, Pope John Paul II stopped by unannounced to pray in the convent’s small chapel, to the surprise of the monks present. The place was also dearly loved by Susanna Agnelli (mayor of Monte Argentario from 1974 to 1984), who specifically requested her funeral be held there.
🌲 Sitting at 273 meters altitude and surrounded by woods, it’s still home to about a dozen Passionist fathers today, and offers one of the finest panoramic views of the Argentario, the Orbetello lagoons, and the two sandy tomboli connecting the mountain to Tuscany.
