Around Torino - The Abbeys.
The Abbey of Staffarda was built by Cistercian monks in the 12th century in a marshland (at that time reclaimed) and on an ancient Celtic site. (Curiosity) In a large place of the Abbey lives the bigger north-western Italy colony of bats (Myotis).
L'Abbazia di Staffarda fu costruita dai monaci Cistercensi intorno al XIIsec. in un terreno paludoso, (subito bonificato) e su un antico sito Celtico. (Curiosità) La più grande colonia di pipistrelli (Myotis) dell'Italia Nord-Occidentale vive prosperosa in un ampio locale della stessa Abbazia.
