The law of the sacred woods, inscribed in Archaic Latin, belongs to a pagan era.
Perhaps it conveys the mystery and the terror aroused by silence and darkness.

No one violates this wood, nor does anyone take away in any way what the wood belongs to, nor cuts off, except on the day when the annual sacrifice is made; only on that day, and for it to be done without deception and for the necessities of the sacrifice, it will be licit to cut. If someone transgresses [these provisions] he will have to offer a sin offering with an ox. Who will transgress voluntarily and with bad intention will have to offer Jupiter an ox as a sin offering and will be fined with three hundred asses. It will be up to the dicator to check the offer of the sacrifice and collect the fine.

With the arrival of Saint Isaac, Monteluco began to grow as a monastic retreat.
By the 13th Century, the path of St. Francis passed through this sacred spot.
