Originally the present town of Alwernia was founded around a Bernadine convent called Alwernia after its counterpart Alverno in Tuscany. The convent was founded in the early 17<sup>th</sup> century by Krzysztof Korycinski, the royal secretary of the King of Poland and Sweden, Sigismund III Vasa. During his visit to Italy, the royal secretary was much impressed by Alverno and decided to built a similar convent in Poland. | Originally the present town of Alwernia was founded around a Bernadine convent called Alwernia after its counterpart Alverno in Tuscany.
