Italian Monastery Seeks Salvation in Beer After Devastating Quake
Elisabetta Povoledo of The New York Times writes:
After the Oct. 30 quake, one of the few things left standing at the monastery was a small brewery, where for the past four years the monks have been making Nursia, a beer named for Norcia’s ancient Latin appellation.
Their brew may now be the salvation — symbolically, at least — not only of the monks’ sanctuary, but also of Norcia itself.
