The church of St. John the Baptist is inextricably linked with the future good Pope.
In 1902, when the laying of the foundation stone was blessed, he, then a simple seminarian, was among the crowd.
Following some seepage, however, it was soon closed and restored.
When it reopened in 1929 it was an Angelo Roncalli, who had become a bishop in the meantime, who reconsecrated it.
Next to it you can then visit the Chapel of Peace, which contains an inlay of Pope John composed of as many as 70,000 pieces of wood!
