Fiuggi. Chapel of the Cappuccini

Fiuggi. Chapel of the Cappuccini

This monastery is outside Fiuggi in the valley of Diluvio towards Arcinazzo.

It belonged to several monastic orders, the Knights Templar, the Benedictines, the Conventual Franciscans and finally to the Capuchins, still owners of the complex.

The body of the Venerable Francesco Maria Tittelmans is preserved here.

In 1537 he was visiting the monastery declaring that he came to die. No one believed having regard to his good health. Yet two days afterwards he was seized by fever and ceased to live peacefully. After his death there have been many miracles in Fiuggi.

In this convent San Felice da Cantalice was a novitiate, subsequently whose tomb is located in Via Veneto in Rome.
