The presentation will be in English, Dutch and Italian questions welcome!
Sunday 26th April, 5.15 pm CET, 4.15 pm BST, 11,15 am EDT
In a presentation of about 40 minutes Ingrid will tell you about the extraordinary life of Pietro da Morrone, a hermit who became pope Celestine V when he was over eighty years old. We follow him in his constant search of tranquillity and seclusion in the mountains of Abruzzo. We learn about the religious and political circumstances that led to his election as pope and what happened then. At the end you will understand the influence this man has had on famous people like Pope Benedict XVI and why the name of Celestine V pops up so often in Abruzzo.
Ingrid was a teacher of Latin and Greek and a vice principal at a ‘gymnasium’ (the Dutch name for Liceo Classico) in The Hague for more than 20 years. In her free time she travelled through almost every region in Italy, until she had a sabbatical in 2012 and worked at la Porta dei Parchi in Anversa degli Abruzzi. She fell in love with the the village, its people and Abruzzo in general and started writing about Abruzzo, when she discovered that there was hardly any information on this beautiful region in Dutch. She writes on Facebook , on her website and in 2017 her cultural guide on Abruzzo, the first in Dutch, was published.
