A small hermitage consisting of a group of natural caves already existed during Francis’ time on this isolated spot on Monte Cicerone. The hermitage was given its current name of Buonriposo by Saint Francis, who would stop here on his way to La Verna, and was visited by many saints, including Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint Bonaventure, Saint Bernardino of Siena, and Saint Francis of Pavia. Visits are possible when the accommodating owners are present.
