The island of San Giulio. sent on January 10, 2017 (10:15) by Massimo Schiavi. 42 comments, 853 views.

at 105mm, 1/125 f/13.0, ISO 200, hand held. Orta San Giulio, Italy.

Sulle sponde del lago d'Orta sorge una cittadina dall'imperdibile fascino: Orta San Giulio, fronteggiata dalla stupenda Isola di San Giulio. La piccola isola , raggiungibile in battello o in motoscafo, è dominata dalla basilica romanica, dal palazzo vescovile e dall'abbazia benedettina. La leggenda narra che quest'isola, distante non più di 400 metri dalla riva di Orta, un tempo era uno scoglio abitato da serpi e terribili mostri, fino a quando nel 390 vi approdò San Giulio: attraversando le acque del lago sopra il suo mantello e guidato nella tempesta dal suo bastone, il Santo fondò una chiesa, nella quale scelse poi di essere sepolto, e trasformò l'isola nel centro di evangelizzazione di tutta la regione. Il visitatore viene accolto sull'isola da una breve scalinata che conduce alla suggestiva basilica romanica, la principale attrattiva del posto. La visita prosegue attraverso una stradina che percorre l'intera isola; si tratta della "via del silenzio e della meditazione", suggestivo connubio tra spiritualità e architettura. Camminando per i vicoli di San Giulio si raggiunge l'ottocentesco Palazzo dei Vescovi e l'Abbazia Benedettina Mater Ecclesiae: in questo affascinante convento di clausura femminile le monache, che risiedono stabilmente sull'isola, trascorrono le loro giornate dedicandosi alla preghiera, allo studio, al restauro di antichi e preziosi paramenti sacri, alla confezione delle ostie e alla preparazione del celebre "pane di San Giulio".
