About the Valle Santa di Rieti
The Rieti Holy Valley, known in Italian as the Valle Santa di Rieti, is located in the Lazio region of Italy, in the Province of Rieti. It is a valley near the city of Rieti and holds special spiritual significance, as it is closely connected to the life and work of Saint Francis of Assisi. Several important Franciscan monasteries are found in this valley, including Poggio Bustone, La Foresta, Greccio, and Fonte Colombo. Greccio is particularly well known, as it is believed to be the site where the first nativity scene was created. Francis spent much time in this valley and founded several of these monasteries there, which continue to draw pilgrims and spiritual travelers to this day.
