Eremo dei Camaldolesi, Monastery ruins in Pecetto Torinese, Italy
The Eremo dei Camaldolesi stands on the eastern slope of a hill overlooking the Po River, featuring individual houses with wells, cells, and small gardens.
Duke Carlo Emanuele I of Savoy initiated the construction in 1601 with architect Ascanio Vitozzi, following a vow made during the 1559 plague epidemic.
During its two centuries of operation, the monastery accumulated a substantial library and artworks from Beaumont, Bernero, Cignaroli, and the Pozzo brothers.
The former monastery site now houses a retirement residence, with only the bell tower and chapel of the Order of Annunziata remaining visible from outside.
Each hermit's dwelling contained independent facilities including a personal well, prayer room, and garden space, arranged around a central white church.
