    nsp:content "Having fallen victim to an earthquake, a flood and the post-Risorgimento sale of ecclesiastical lands that placed it in private hands to ultimately be used as farmland, little remains of the monastery of Santa Venera. Surrounded by hills and valleys and just a few feet away from the fiumara (seasonal river) of Santa Venera, Antonino Quattrocchi, a local historian who has done significant research on this foundation and has located the monastery near the modern town of Castroreale (see his Sui sentieri dei monaci di Vanella: i cenobiti italo-greci nella storia dei Peloritani (2017)), explained that the area was once heavily forested but that the trees were depleted in the fifteenth century to build houses for newly-formed comunes like Bafia. Not much of the structure remains visible. Continual heavy rains that lasted for over two weeks in January 1880 led to landslides that left much of it buried. As of our July 2019 visit, only the upper windows remain aboveground. Unfortunately, lack of funding has prevented excavation to uncover what lies below the earth. It should also be noted that the site rests in private hands, located on a family estate. Mr. Quattrocchi argues that the visible structure is most likely a sixteenth-century refabrication of the Norman building; indeed, a document from the 1500s describes the reconstruction of Santa Venera. The remains only became visible in 2009-2010, when another flood shifted the ground and laid the ruins bare. We would like to end with an expression of our deep gratitude to the current landowner for permitting us to visit the site as well as to Mr. Quattrocchi for his enthusiasm, deep knowledge and warm hospitality." ;
