HERE IS THE MEMORY OF THE FIRE OF SAN CORRADO
The grandiose bronze door of Noto Cathedral houses the entire Life of Saint Corrado, with the episode of his conversion: the fire to flush out game while hunting and the castle of Confalonieri, which was his fiefdom in Calendasco.
The episode is masterfully captured in the 17th-century painting in the church of Calendasco, where the scene of the fire caused by the patron saint also shows the capture of the innocent farmer. And in the place flows the stream of the "gorgolare", to remember the hospital hermitage called precisely "del gorgolare", where S. Corrado was welcomed in 1315.
