Abbazia di San Nicola, Renaissance monastery in Rodengo Saiano, Italy.

The monastery complex includes three Renaissance cloisters, each with distinct architectural features, and a church adorned with 15th-century frescoes and religious artwork.

Founded between 1085 and 1090 by Cluniac monks, the monastery served as a shelter for pilgrims traveling to Rome and underwent major renovations after 1446.

The refectory displays frescoes by Lattanzio Gambara while the guest quarters contain paintings by Romanino, representing different periods of Italian art.

The monastery opens daily for visitors, offering guided tours through the cloisters, church, and refectory areas with explanations in multiple languages.

The Sansone Room contains a complete cycle of frescoes depicting the biblical hero, representing one of the finest examples of Renaissance narrative art in Lombardy.
