We stayed 7 days at Abbadia di Lastreto. It just was a wonderful place to be, and very inspiring to take photographs.  It is sad to see that the structure of the Abbaye is deteriorating ...Petra has put in an application to buy it from the catholic church but bureaucrats are not very speedy processing her request...hopefully, it will take place soon so that some of this wonderful church can be saved!

It was founded by the Benedictine monks and there are records of its presence around the 11th century. It was rebuilt after an earthquake.
