Visits by appointment, the entire house available from Sunday 9 May Director Serafini: “You will immerse yourself 100% in the life of Luciani”
THE EVENT. In popular devotion, Pope Luciani is already considered a saint, not even a blessed one, although he will probably rise to the honors of the altars next year, as everyone hopes in Canale (and beyond). To testify that “don Albino”, as they still call him in his native town, is attributed graces and even miracles will be a room in his birthplace where many paintings and other testimonies of “by grace received” will be exhibited.
«They have come from all over the world», confirms the director Loris Serafini, «obviously these are not graces or certified healings, but they certainly testify to the extraordinary devotion to Luciani».
Today, on request and by reservation, the renovated birthplace opens, together with the Musal (Museo Albino Luciani), which can be visited on the first two floors as early as 2019. The faithful will also have the opportunity to enter the other five rooms on the second floor, thus immersing himself completely in the life of Luciani and his family.
“We are really happy with this reopening”, adds Serafini, “during the months of closure we worked hard to be ready for this moment which represents only the beginning of many planned initiatives and which, like every year, will remember and celebrate Albino Luciani ».
The house in via Rividella 8, where Albino Luciani was born at 12 noon on Thursday 17 October 1912, opened some rooms in August 2019, with a visit by Cardinal Stella, postulator of the cause of canonization of John Paul I.
«For everyone it was a great emotion to be able to enter the rooms that saw Luciani born and grow up until October 1923, when he entered the seminary of Feltre».
After the inauguration, hundreds of faithful flocked to Canale to see the stua in person, the warmest room in the house where little Albino saw the light and was baptized for imminent danger of life by the midwife Maria Fiocco; or the bedroom where Luciani, as bishop of Vittorio Veneto, rested during visits to his brother. –
