Monte Stella
is a place of worship for
the cilento inhabitants. On the summit there is a chapel in honour of
the Virgin Mary dating back to the year 1100. Everyone looks up to this
peak, comparing it to a light house that you can put your trust in to
save you from drowning in this stormy sea of abandonment.
Today,
emerged in the greenery of
the surrounding woods it is compelled to live its eternal pilgrimage in
the shade of an iron mast from the top of which, a hundred aerials
transmit their signals. In San
Mango Cilento , the ancient palace of the Baroni
Del Giudice is in danger of collapsing and with it years and years
of the small but neverthless important paths of this area which
represents an essential component in the large mosaic which depicts the
general history of Cilento and
the hill in particular.It is not only important but vital to act
now in order to leave a trace of our origin for the future generations.A
belfry stands in what was once the centre of the village, the only
remains of the monastery which, as already mentioned, is of vital
importance for the religious life and culture of these places.
Nevertheless it will not be standing there for much longer if its`
condition is not taken into serious consideration. Its`
present stability is drawn from the strength entwined in its`
very soul and most certainly hidden between the stones. We could carry
on with this list but will stop here for the nation`s sake. The Park is
culture and not a political site for games of power.
