THE PLACES OF THE SAINTS

 Blessed Giovanni da Tufara 

A hermit who was born and lived at Tufara and who died on 14th November, 1170. “He was small in stature, wore white garments”, as we are told by Pompeo Sarnelli who, in the 17th century wrote a biography of him in which he also wrote that he lived “66 years of hermitage”, that “he illustrated God with miracles” and that “he kept moving from place to place in order to escape the celebrity of his name”. The most famous of his miracles is perhaps the occasion when he caused water to flow in an arid place; creating a spring that never runs dry.
