A wonderful stop. Both the church and the baptistery were open, and we were able to enter for a visit. It's worth a detour if you're in the area.

Wonderful abbey - a former Cistercian monastery - A dove dropped pieces of wood, thus determining the size of the abbey. Hence the name Colomba = dove

Suggestive place easily reachable

This was one of the most important Cistercian centers in Italy. The church was built around 1135 according to the wishes of Saint Bernard of Claivaux and the Pallavicino family. Of the abbey complex, the Romanesque church with 14th- and 15th-century frescoes and the beautiful cloister have been preserved. The old facade of the basilica is still visible in the upper part, behind the 14th-century porch. The church consists of three naves with a transept following the classical plan of the primitive churches of the Cistercian order. The southern part of the transept has a beautiful staircase, which provides access to the monks' dormitory.

The Chiesa di San Michele Arcangelo is located in Montanaro, a hamlet of Carpaneto Piacentino. The building probably dates from before the year 1000 and has a special significance for the Lombards, who had a special veneration for the figure of the archangel. The church has undergone several renovations over the centuries, with the Baroque renovations from the 18th century determining its current appearance. The interior of the church consists of a single nave with two side chapels that are connected to each other. The internal decoration is partly the work of Alberto Aspetti, one of the most important experts in mural painting in Piacenza in the first half of the 20th century. In the apsidal area, the patron saint is depicted in a sculptural group: Saint Michael fighting the devil. The bell tower, which began in the Renaissance, was completed at the end of the 18th century.

The first documented news of the church dates back to 886, although the foundation of a sacred building on site could date back to as early as the 5th century. In 886 the parish church of San Giorgio was entrusted to the Cathedral of Piacenza, and later passed to the church of San Savino. The current building dates back to the 1670s, but in the following centuries it was remodeled several times. The Romanesque bell tower of the older church remains, in operation until 1920, when the new bell tower on the left side was completed and inaugurated. On the outside, the parish church is divided into three parts by a double order of pilasters, three portals crowned with tympanums give access to the interior. In the upper part of the wall, corresponding to the main portal, a beautiful fresco represents Saint George killing the Dragon.

This church with the patronage “SAN MICHELE” was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. The name (coming from the Hebrew language) means “Who is like God?” He is often depicted - in paintings or as a statue - with a flaming sword, and occasionally a lance. Michael is - together with Raphael and Gabriel, occasionally Uriel is also included - one of the three or four archangels who (according to human understanding) occupy the highest rank in the heavenly hierarchy of angelic beings. Their common feast day in the saints' calendar is September 29th.
