Fontevivo Abbey, Romanesque abbey in Fontevivo, Italy
The three-nave church features pink brick walls, rib vaulting, and a gabled front adorned with a 15th-century rose window.
Twelve Cistercian monks from Chiaravalle della Colomba established the monastery in 1142 on land donated by Bishop Lanfranco of Parma.
The church displays a 12th-century stone statue of Madonna and Child holding a rose, attributed to sculptor Benedetto Antelami.
The former convent section now functions as a hotel with a restaurant, event spaces, and houses the Museum of Accordions.
The abbey stands between the Taro and Stirone rivers, built on reclaimed marshland that monks transformed into productive agricultural terrain.
