The Palatine Chapel of the Holy Roman Empire in San Claudio in Chienti, in the Macerata countryside.

After years of studies and the publication of as many as 14 books, the thesis of Giovanni Carnevale (born in Capracotta, in the Isernia province and for many years teacher at the Salesian Institute of Macerata where he still currently resides), concerning the possibility of identifying the Palatine Chapel, in which Charlemagne was buried, in the Saint Claudio in Chienti Abbey (MC), after the initial and lasting perplexity by the experts of the worldwide historiographical culture, who had declassified this theory as a too imaginative one, has instead received a solemn opening of credit, as much to be published, as an highly plausible hypothesis, on art history high school texts adopted in many Italian schools.
Specifically in the text named "Civility of Art" (Atlas Editions, written by the very well-known art critic, as well as painter, academic and philosopher Gillo Dorfles with the support of Marcello Ragazzi), that on pages 69 and 126 cites the thesis of Giovanni Carnevale as an innovative one, even if absolutely credible, with regard to the hypothesis that Charlemagne's remains would rest under the Saint Claudio in Chienti Abbey, a really original church placed just few km from Macerata, into an area which, according to these studies, is identified as the true "Aquisgrana" that, instead of in Germany, it would therefore be found in the Italian“Val di Chienti”, in the Macerata province.
It is easily imaginable how important could be, in terms of tourist development of this area, the ever increasing reliability that, over time, could be attributed to this fascinating theory, especially by the experts and, at this regard, its official publication in the art history text of above for the high schools, results of primary importance, in terms of authoritativeness.
