I CUSTODI
    After the donation in 962 the Pope Giovanni XII (Roman Pope 995/964) made sure that Rock of Fumone was trusted to the church. From this moment onwards it was ruled by the “Holy seat” and three generation contracts insured this. The church would by law give the feudal rights and were named “Caretakers”.
