Albugnano - Abbazia di Vezzolano

Albugnano - Abbazia di Vezzolano
Legends connect the foundation of the Abbazia Santa Maria di Vezzolano to Charlemagne. It does date back to the eighth century and got destroyed in the 10th century by the Saracens.

The complex was rebuilt until 1189 and is documented as an Augustinian monastery from 1095. It was the seat of a community until the 19th century when it was suppressed during the Napoleonic invasion of Italy.

The cloister once was the heart of the monastic life.
