Novalesa Abbey, 1300 years since its foundation

1,300 years have passed, and the Abbey in Val Cenischia has experienced periods of varying importance and significance in the history of both sides of the Alps, until 1972 when the Province of Turin purchased it to prevent it from falling into ruin.
This important gesture has given new life to a place that is unique and special in terms of history, faith, art and culture.
The Benedictine monastic community has prepared a rich and meaningful programme for the 1300th anniversary of its foundation, with distinguished guests throughout 2026.
