Sacra di San Michele, a mysterious abbey

            The Sacra di San Michele is an abbey founded in the 10th century on top of Mount Pirchiriano (Piedmont region, Italy). It’s a religious monument of incomparable beauty and value, and one of the most mysterious in Italy. This impressive medieval architectural complex inspired Italian writer Umberto Eco the setting of his internationally known novel: the Name of the Rose.
