Garegnano Charterhouse, Renaissance monastery in Garegnano district, Milan, Italy
The monastery features two cloisters and an octagonal spire rising above its quadrangular apse, with geometrical stucco decorations adorning the barrel-vaulted nave.
Giovanni Visconti established the monastery on September 27, 1349, providing extensive land properties, vineyards, and woods in Trenno parish to support the monks.
The monastery contains frescoes by Simone Peterzano and Daniele Crespi, including representations of Saint Bruno's life and scenes from the Crucifixion.
Visitors can access the monastery free of charge through guided tours conducted by volunteers from the Italian Touring Club Cultural Heritage program.
Francesco Petrarca stayed at the monastery during summer 1357, while Lord Byron later visited and documented his impressions of the frescoes in letters.
