Monte Corona
The imposing complex of the abbey of
Montecorona anciently hosted one of the
communities founded by the fascinating Saint
Romuald. The monumental bell tower watches over
the ancient church as a defensive tower. Inside a
splendid early medieval “ciborium”. The marvelous
crypt shows roman columns and capitals perfectly
integrated in the romanesque structure.
Montelabate
Located in the gentle Umbrian hills, the monumental
abbey of Montelabate is one of the many witnesses
of the benedictine presence in our Region. The
huge structure is surrounded by an inspiring
silence remembering centuries of prayers and
work around a splendid cloister. Even after having
been abandoned for years and passed in private
property, it still is the seat of a factory producing
quality products and keeping the surrounding
environment intact. In this way it maintains its
original function of managing the territory. By visiting
Montelabate you financially help the foundation
Istituto di Pediatria Gaslini di Genova with the
protection and assistance to infancy.
The visit includes:
• Visit of the Abbey*
• Option: tasting of the local products*
• Option: walking tour on the factory grounds
