Abbazia della Benedicta, Medieval abbey ruins in Bosio, Italy.
The Benedictine abbey lies at the foot of Mount Tobbio, featuring stone ruins and structural elements from its original 11th-century construction.
The monastery served as a resting place for pilgrims traveling to Rome and Santiago de Compostela before passing to the Spinola family after the monks departed.
The site transformed into a memorial following the April 1944 Nazi roundup that resulted in the deaths of 147 resistance fighters during World War II.
The restored complex includes a documentation center established by the Piedmont Region within the Benedicta Peace Park.
Annual commemorative ceremonies at the abbey attract Italian political figures and preserve the memory of the wartime resistance movement.
