Boville

Today we made a pilgrimage to the medieval walled town of Boville.  Although the current town only dates to the early thirteenth-century, archaeological finds show that the area was inhabited since the 10th century BC.  With only 3,357 houses, I was surprised to find no fewer than 7 churches within the walls and 5 outside the walls (granted, they didn't measure up to St. Peter's Basilica).  From what I can tell, there are also three active convents there, which, praise God, appeared to be thriving.  It is a beautiful village, where we enjoyed cappuccino and gelato.
