Anno Domini 790 d.C In località San Giorgio Basso, ai confini tra Montichiari e Carpenedolo (BS), in epoca medievale, prosperava un centro monastico retto dai Canonici regolari agostiniani. Nel 790 d.C., nel periodo di transizione tra il dominio dei Longobardi e dei Franchi, un certo frate Odosino fu espulso dall'ordine per non ben precisati reati. Per vendetta, il monaco in questione, raccolse più di diecimila seguaci e, spinto dall'odio, lanciò il suo «esercito» contro il monastero di San Giorgio. Conquistato lo stabile, catturò più di duemila prigionieri che, dopo aver fatto legare, buttò vivi nelle fiamme. Odolino e i suoi mantennero il possesso di San Giorgio e furono solo successivamente sconfitti dai Franchi. Molti passanti, che si sono trovati a transitare lungo il meraviglioso viale di tigli, raccontano di aver sentito cigolii e lamenti provenire dai ruderi di quello che viene definito "Castello di San Giorgio"?.. Sarà solo il vento che soffia tra le mura vetuste del maniero o è il grido d'aiuto delle anime che vagano ancora in cerca di pace?? Unione di 2 scatti la storia di questo monastero l'ho trovata su internet è al quanto inquietante

Great black and white, enriched by the description of the caption. But it is completely surrounded by nature, abandoned?

Hello Nicola, Thank you for the nice comment and for passing, unfortunately it is abandoned and the green has taken control of him is a shame that a building of this kind is left to itself.

Hello Mario, what a pleasure to resent, it is true the caption is as disturbing. Think that over there I've been there several times, but as I read the story on the internet than stable, reported in the caption, I was intrigued and then is taken the photographic excursion. Later I'll do another "attack" in my car to improve the angle or the position of the sun. but! who knows what will come out. thanks for the visit and for the nice comment.

A quick hello :-)
