The abbey grew in importance and consideration and received donations, privileges, exemptions from emperors and popes. At the height of its power the abbey controlled 600 churches and monasteries, 132 castles or strongholds and 6 fortified cities, for a total of more than 300 villages. Cultured, worthy and devoted men succeeded each other in the direction of the abbey, such as the Abbot Sicardo, a relative of Charlemagne. During the reign of Charlemagne, the abbey experienced the maximum building development. In a few decades it became one of the best known and most prestigious centers of medieval Europe. The abbey of Santa Maria di Farfa was founded between 560 and 570 by Lorenzo Siro, bishop of Forum Novum. This first monastery was later devastated by the Gothic wars. In the Lombard period in the 7th century Irish monasticism spread throughout Italy, the foundation of the abbey of San Colombano di Bobbio and Farfa by the monks of Gaul in the last twenty years of the 7th century, heralded a rebirth of the great monastic tradition in Italy. Under the direction of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the monastery entered the Cassinese Congregation in 1547. Over the next two centuries, despite some restorations and new constructions, Farfa lost importance. In 1861, part of the assets were sold to private citizens. In 1920 a group of monks sent by Alfredo Ildefonso Schuster gave a new life to the Abbey of Farfa. In 1928 Farfa was declared a national monument. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ♦♦♦📍 𝗠𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿 📍♦♦♦ https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edi... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 🔻 0:00 - [Brief Intro] 1:33 - [Abbey of Farfa walking tour begins] 4:00 - [Piazza Shuster] 5:22 - [Via di Porta Montopoli] 8:45 - [St.Benedict - Patron of Europe statue] 9:16 - [Small shops of souvenirs and art galleries] 12:37 - [Abbey of Farfa - small tour inside] 13:50 - [Back in the tiny village] 15:11 - [Inside the old cloister] 18:00 - [Via del Monastero / Monastery road] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #walkingtour #farfa #treadmill #virtualtour #virtual #walking #walk #drone #4k #walks #tour #italy #tours #random #europe #abbey #abbeyoffarfa #latium #lazio
