Abbey of Vangadizza, Medieval abbey in Badia Polesine, Italy
The abbey complex includes a bell tower, apse chapel, and several buildings featuring Romanesque-Gothic architectural elements from different construction periods.
The abbey gained independence as a feudal state in 996 and maintained this status until the 14th century, operating directly under the Holy See.
During the 13th century, the abbey established a substantial library and school focusing on philosophy, theology, chant, arts, and sciences studies.
Visitors can examine two sarcophagi in the church square containing the remains of Albert Azzo II, Margrave of Milan, and Azzo VI of Este.
The bell tower base contains ancient decorative elements, including a first-century marble bas-relief depicting a Maenad figure.
