Abbazia di Casanova, Cistercian monastery in Carmagnola, Italy
The abbey features three naves with a large transept, a bell tower from 1825, and an eastern apse designed by architect Francesco Gallo.
Founded in 1150 by Marquis Manfredo and Ugo of Saluzzo, the monastery expanded its territory until French and Calvinist armies attacked it in the 17th century.
Federico Cervelli painted twelve canvases depicting religious scenes between 1681 and 1695, with ten displayed in the main nave area.
The abbey stands along the former national road 393 of Villastellone, south of Turin, and now functions as a spiritual center.
The right transept contains a royal tribune where King Vittorio Emanuele II attended mass during his hunting expeditions in the region.
