S. Nazario e Celso Abbey – S. Nazzaro Sesia (NO)

L'Abbazia dei Santi Nazario e Celso - S. Nazzaro Sesia (NO)

Entering the medieval cloister of the Abbey, passing through the magnificent well-decorated porch, it seems that a huge illustrated book is opening in front of you. On the walls the bright frescoes, suffering the ravages of time, tell us about the story of San Benedetto, the founder of the Rule to which the monks who lived here were devoted to.

Such a fascinating tale about penitence, holiness, devils and saints that will engage you through the centuries. Take your time to discover the details and to practice your Italian, reading the subtitles under the paintings. But only if you are confident with the medieval language!
