Abbazia di San Colombano di Bobbio
Bobbio (PC)

Abbazia di San Michele ai Laghi di Monticchio
Rionero in Vulture (PZ)
Benedictine abbey perched on the edge of Lago Grande at Monticchio, a place of pilgrimage and home to a rock-cut chapel, set in a landscape of rare stillness on the slopes of Monte Vulture.
Sito storico
Abbazia di Sant'Eustachio a Nervesa della Battaglia
Nervesa della Battaglia (TV)
A medieval ruin set within the woods of the Montello, the Benedictine Abbazia di Sant'Eustachio (Abbey of Sant'Eustachio) is tied to the history of the galateo and to the figure of Giovanni della Casa, who stayed here in the sixteenth century. The site retains a melancholy charm between architecture and nature.
Abbazia di Vezzolano
Albugnano (AT)
Romanesque-Gothic abbey in Albugnano, in the Asti area, considered one of the best-preserved medieval monastic complexes in Piedmont. It stands in an isolated position on the hills of Monferrato, far from the major tourist routes.
Borgo
