Dear Patrick
that is not exact, since Monte Sant'Angelo is quite far from Cortona, Arezzo
and Sansepolcro and it is not in the Abruzzi, but in the south-eastern
region of Italy known as 'Apulia'. I don't know of ancient collection of
Garganian miracles, although the most famous one (as the one of the shepherd
Gargano) was very often included in the liturgical lessons for St. Michael's
feast.
Yours
