The Passionist Monastery of Sant’Angelo is located on the slopes of Monte Fogliano, forming part of the Cimini Mountain range, in the vicinity of a volcanic crater that gave rise to Lake Vico and the nature reserve of the same name. The monastery, at an altitude of 300 meters (approx. 900 feet) above sea level, is situated within the town of Vetralla and forms part of the Province of Viterbo, one of northern most provinces of the Italian region of Lazio. It is bordered on the south by the metropolitan capital city of Rome and on the southeast by the Province of Rieti. On the north it is bordered by the region of
Tuscany (the Province of Grosseto, the location of Monte Argentario) and by the region of Umbria (the Province of Terni) to the east. The Tyrrhenian Sea is located to the west. The town of Vetralla and the monastery is a pilgrim station on the ancient “Via Francigena”, which was once traveled by wayfarers and pilgrims on their way to Rome. This small town in the Viterbo area attracts Italian and foreign tourists who appreciate its charming historic center and the naturalistic, archaeological, and religious itineraries, including our Sant’Angelo Monastery, scattered throughout the surrounding area.
