		Immediately prominent was the five-story bell tower of Santa Scholastica, an 11th-century abbey named for Benedict's sister, and distinguished by a beautifully walled and columned cloister.

		Around 15km northeast of Palestrina, SUBIACO (accessible by bus from Tivoli or direct from Rome), is beautifully set, pyramided around a hill topped by the Rocca Abbazia castle, close to Monte Liviato - one of Lazio's premier ski resorts.

	St Benedict: Another Brief Life
		He was born in central Italy of good family, was educated at Rome, at 14 years of age joined a Christian group outside the city, and afterwards lived as a hermit in a mountain cave.

		He believed in the moral value of work; for idleness, he said, is hostile to the soul, and manual labor is part of the true pattern and glory of life.
