St. Benedict is also linked to the Sanctuary of our Mother of the Graces, known as Mentorella, where he lived for two years. The sanctuary is located in unique surroundings, perched on a sheer rock face leading to the Giovenzano Valley, and was founded by Emperor Constantine, and then run by the Benedictine monks from Subiaco. Pope John Paul II made one of his very first official visits here, making a pilgrimage to the sanctuary of Mariano, a place he often frequented before being elected Pope.
