The Sacra of San Michele is a fascinating abbey located on Mount Pirchiriano in front of the city of Turin. It was founded between 983 and 987. It became an important Benedectine monasticism in the Middle Age. There are several legends connected to this beautiful and unique place. It is believed that Umberto Eco was inspired by this building for his famous novel "The name of the rose".
Although it is not in the city of Turin, the abbey is considered in the metropolitan area of the city. So I took the liberty to add it to the project
"Turin in monochrome"

La Sacra di San Michele e' un'abbazia medioevale costruita sulla cima del monte Pirchiriano che domina la citta' di Torino. Fu costruita tra il 983 e il 987 e divenne un importante centro culturale dei Benedettini. Ci sono diverse leggende che circondano questa affascinante struttura. Si pensa che Umberto Eco si sia inspirato a questa struttura per il suo romanzo "Il nome della rosa".
Sebbene non sia nella municipalita' di Torino, l'abbazia e' considerata facente parte dell'area metropolitana della citta' e per questo motivo l'ho inserita nel progetto "Turin in monochrome"

Mio padre amava e rispettava la montagna, ma soprattutto amava la vita. Da ieri ha portato un po' del suo buonumore e allegria in qualche altro luogo dove riuscira' a continuare a divertirsi.

My father loved and respected the mountains, but above all he loved life. Since yesterday he has brought his good humor and joy somewhere else where he will be able to continue to have fun.
