hermitage of san viviano, Lucca - Italy

The hermitage of San Viviano or Viano is a suggestive building carved into the rock overlooking the Arnetola valley,  where the hermit Viviano lived.

The small sanctuary of San Viviano is now a chapel. Located a short distance from Campocatino, it dominates the Fosso della Tambura and the Arnetola Valley.
Documents of a pastoral visit dating back to 1568 testify to the existence of the relics of Blessed Viviano. The popular legend of the community of sieves handed down the history and miracles of this character from Reggio Emilia.
The hut was discovered by chance in 1993; inside there were probably bones of the hermit who does not know exactly when he lived
The Chapel of San Viviano is an example of spontaneous architecture, built between the crags and cliffs of the Tambura, partially excavated in the rock, a rare case of integration between the work of man and nature.
We reached it along the CAI 147 path, starting from the Campocatino plain, a beautiful trek suitable for everyone even if quite tiring.
