'로맨스 때문에'…이탈리아 40대 수녀 수도원 떠난 사연
'로맨스 때문에'…이탈리아 40대 수녀 수도원 떠난 사연이탈리아 토스카나주(州)의 산세폴크로 지역에 있는 400년 역사의 파드리 카푸치니 수도원.산 중턱에 안기듯 자리 잡아 토스카나의 아름다운 전원 풍경을 내려다보는 이 유서 깊은 수도원은 지난 수십 년간 버려지다시피 방치됐다가 2015년 베네딕트 수도회에 배정되면서 제모습을 되찾았다.이후 지역사회에 생기를 불어넣으면서 주민들의 안식처로서 기능해왔다. 수녀들은 올리브와 과일 등을 재배하고 수도원 내 많은 방을 순례자들을 위한 보금자리로 내놨다.수도원 내 넓은 공간은 세례성사 등의 종교 활동과 결혼식 장소로 활용됐다.이처럼 수도원과 지역사회가 한데 어우러진 데에는 마리아 테레사 수녀의 공이 컸다.올해 40살인 테레사 수녀는 넘치는 에너지로 수도원을 지역사회의 '허브'로 만들었다는 찬사를 받았다.하지만 이 수도원은 어렵게 문을 연 지 4년 만에 최근 다시 폐쇄되는 운명에 놓였다.테레사 수녀가 지역의 한 남성과 사랑에 빠졌다는
