Via Maguzzano, 4
Tel. +39 030 9130182
Today the abbey, of Benedictine origin, hosts the Community of San Giovanni Calabria that brings back here the faith and the spirituality, harmonizing the art and the activities of its ecumenical centre.
The abbey’s complex is formed by the church dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta with Renaissance’s lines, inside we can admire an altar piece representing the Assumption of the Virgin by Alessandro Bonvicino – called Moretto – and his workshop.
Remarkable is the courtyard encircled by a wide arcade, supported by elegant columns of the XVI century.
In the Spring 1553 the Cardinal Reginald Pole came here for a spiritual retreat.
Church services: Saturday 18.30; Sunday 8.00, 10.30.
