The
beginning of the 13th century, probably 1215, saw the birth
in the Molise of Pietro Angelerio, who in 1294 became Pope under the
name of Celestino V and in 1313 was canonised. San Pietro Celestino
founded his own religious order, the Celestines. At Isernia,
in 1289, he instituted the congregation of La Fraterna. Numerous
sacred places, including the Church of Santa Maria at Maiella in Agnone,
were built on his inspiration.
