Nella seconda metà del XVII sec. Monterano, grazie anche all’influenza di papa Clemente X Altieri, venne trasformata in una piccola capitale Barocca, con splendidi monumenti. In quest’epoca vide la luce anche il convento di San Bonaventura e la fontana ottagonale realizzata dal Bernini. In mezzo alla natura e con questi manufatti storici, si vive quasi in un’atmosfera mistica. Sicuramente da non perdere.
In the second half of the seventeenth century. Monterano, thanks also to the influence of Pope Clement X Altieri, was transformed into a small Baroque capital, with splendid monuments. At this time, the convent of San Bonaventura and the octagonal fountain created by Bernini also saw the light. In the midst of nature and with these historical artifacts, you live almost in a mystical atmosphere. Definitely not to be missed.

Visto questo posto stupendo con una bellissima giornata. Immerso nella natura, il borghetto, stupendo, è ormai quasi caduto giù del tutto. È sicuramente da visitare ne vale la pena.
Saw this gorgeous place with a beautiful day. Immersed in nature, the wonderful hamlet has now almost fallen completely down. It is definitely worth a visit.

Quando si arriva al villaggio sia apre questa meravigliosa quinta scenica che lascia senza parole. Un grande prato, una fontana ed un prospetto sacro isolati nel nulla. Uno spazio dove riposare o passare una giornata con amici e parenti tra storia cultura e natura.
When you arrive at the village, this wonderful scenic backdrop opens that leaves you speechless. A large lawn, a fountain and a sacred facade isolated in the void. A space to rest or spend a day with friends and relatives between history, culture and nature.

Superato il portale d’ingresso, tramite un vestibolo si accedeva alla chiesa, con pianta centrale a croce greca. L’interno risulta armonicamente movimentato dalla presenza di pilastri angolari su basi modanate. Nella profonda abside doveva trovar posto l’altare maggiore, ora scomparso; i bracci laterali accoglievano 2 altari mediani e in ciascuno di questi si aprivano 2 cappelline, per un totale di 7 altari. Questi erano dedicati, procedendo dall’abside in senso antiorario, a San Bonaventura, alla Madonna dei Sette Dolori, Sant’Agostino, Sant’Antonio da Padova, San Filippo Benizi, San Michele Arcangelo e San Giuseppe; una tela per ciascuno di questi, ad esclusione della Madonna dei Sette Dolori, a cui era dedicata una statua lignea, era ospitata nelle cornici in stucco o molta sopra ciascun altare (al momento dell’abbandono queste opere vennero trasferite nella chiesa parrocchiale di Canale, Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, dove se ne conserva una parte). Al corpo di fabbrica della chiesa si addossano le 3 ali porticale del convento, delimitanti un cortile. Il pavimento della chiesa: a differenza di quello che si è portati ad immaginare, non tutti i pavimenti delle chiesa di età barocca furono realizzati in marmi preziosi, nonostante il committente potesse essere, come in questo caso, la famiglia papale. Per San Bonaventura si scelse di utilizzare formelle di cotto di forma quadrata e rettangolare prodotte appositamente nella fornace di Canale. La differente cromia – variano dal giallo, all’arancio-rosato al rosso – doveva conferire vivacità alla tessitura del pavimento. Nelle chiese tutt’oggi utilizzate questa tipologia pavimentale più soggetta ad usura, è stata ormai sostituita. San Bonaventura, precocemente abbandonata, è forse l’unico esempio di chiesa berniniana che conserva l’originario pavimento in cotto. ENGLISH: After the entrance portal, through a vestibule you entered the church, with a central Greek cross plan. The interior is harmoniously moved by the presence of corner pillars on molded bases. The high altar, which has now disappeared, must have been placed in the deep apse; the lateral arms housed 2 median altars and in each of these there were 2 chapels, for a total of 7 altars. These were dedicated, proceeding counterclockwise from the apse, to San Bonaventura, the Madonna of the Seven Sorrows, Sant'Agostino, Sant'Antonio da Padova, San Filippo Benizi, San Michele Arcangelo and San Giuseppe; a canvas for each of these, with the exception of the Madonna dei Sette Dolori, to which a wooden statue was dedicated, was housed in the stucco frames or a lot above each altar (at the time of abandonment these works were transferred to the parish church of Canale, Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, where a part of it is kept). The 3 portical wings of the convent, delimiting a courtyard, lean against the body of the church. The floor of the church: unlike what we are led to imagine, not all the floors of the church of the Baroque age were made of precious marble, although the client could be, as in this case, the papal family. For San Bonaventura it was decided to use square and rectangular terracotta tiles specially produced in the Canale furnace. The different colors - ranging from yellow, to orange-pink to red - had to give liveliness to the texture of the floor. In churches still used today, this type of flooring more subject to wear has now been replaced. San Bonaventura, precociously abandoned, is perhaps the only example of a Berninian church that preserves the original terracotta floor.

Beautiful place in the middle of amazing natural reserve. Offers two options to arrive to this old town. If you like walking, park in the solfatara valley and follow the Old Monterano red walk. Or if you prefer arrive at the first parking and look around and you will find the road to antica Monterano parking. It is easy to find. Look around and you will find the road. Good luck .
