« Good day, good people! ». Thus Francis greeted the townspeople of Poggio Bustone when, for the first time, he reached the village on the slopes of the Apennines. Poggio Bustone (756 mamsl) is a town of Medieval origins, and boasts a marvelous view over the Valle Santa di Rieti and its sanctuaries.
It is also known as the birthplace of the contemporary singer-songwriter Lucio Battisti. Wandering the streets of this tiny town, visitors stumble across numerous Franciscan memorials, including the historic arched city gate (known as “Buon Giorno” or “Good Day”) where Francis entered town with his famous greeting.
