The story

A lovely walk in the hills on the edge of Monferrato; coming from Turin, after Gassino along the Val Cerrina, at the Casalborgone junction head towards Bersano S. Pietro, in the centre of the village turn left towards Vezzolano, after about 4 km turn right towards the abbey, a large car park. Continuing on foot we can admire the abbey nestled among the hills of Monferrato, a lovely medieval piece; for more information visit the website. In any case it is a place worth visiting not only for those who fortunately live in these parts, but also for those who cross these places with the right calm, so that they may rediscover the wonder of discovering small but great lands. greetings ventoenuvole
