Novalesa

The Benedictine monastic community and the Metropolitan City of Turin are celebrating the 1300th anniversary of the founding of Novalesa Abbey with a rich and meaningful program throughout 2026.

From its founding on January 30, 726, the Abbey of Val Cenischia experienced periods of varying importance and significance in its history, both on both sides of the Alps, until 1972, when the Province of Turin purchased it to prevent it from falling into ruin. This significant gesture has brought new life over time to a unique and special place for its history, faith, art, and culture.
