Description

Casenove is a small hamlet above Pietralba that was abandoned at the beginning of the century. The presence of earthenware suggests the existence of a necropolis near the chapel of Sainte Lucie, which was renovated thirty years ago.
The building has its remains: a golden calvary donated in 1870 by a hotelier from Versailles, originally from Pietralba, which had escaped the fury of the Prussians. On this ground was born Abbot Bonavita (1752-1833), the first chaplain of the Emperor in St. Helena from 1819 to 1821, a knight of the Papal Golden Order whose tomb is in Mauritius.
