Sant'Eutizio, Romanesque abbey in Piedivalle, Italy.

The Sant'Eutizio abbey stands on a cliff overlooking Valle Castoriana, featuring a Romanesque facade with evangelists symbols and a prominent bell tower.

Syrian monks established the monastery in the 5th century, with Santo Spes constructing the initial oratory near a spring in 470 AD.

The abbey's scriptorium produced the Confessio Eutiziana in 1095, marking one of the earliest documented texts written in vernacular Italian.

The museum displays archaeological finds, wooden sculptures, sacred objects, and medical instruments from the former Preci Surgery School.

The monks developed medical knowledge and established the Preci Surgery School, which gained recognition across Europe for surgical techniques.
