Certosa di Pesio, Carthusian monastery in Chiusa di Pesio, Italy
The Certosa di Pesio monastery stands at 859 meters altitude near the Marguareis massif, featuring a Renaissance cloister and an abbey church with frescoes.
Founded in 1173 by the lords of Morozzo, the monastery flourished until 1802 when French troops forced its closure and auctioned its remaining possessions.
For six centuries, this monastery operated as one of Piedmont's primary spiritual and educational centers, attracting numerous scholars and religious figures.
The monastery complex, located at Via Provinciale San Bartolomeo 17 in Chiusa Pesio, currently houses the Missionary Fathers of the Consolata of Torino.
In 1446, King Louis XI received a favorable prediction from a monk at this monastery, leading to substantial donations after the prophecy materialized.
