Church of St. Michael Archangel and St. Stephen

The holy warrior and Benedictine nuns The Church of San Michele has Longobard origin, highlighted since dedication. The Archangel Michael, holy warrior, was especially loved by the Lombard people who found the connection with the ancient gods armed with the sword of his pagan origin.

Unfortunately, the Church today finds no trace of its antiquity and is set according to the sixteenth-century modes of the churches of the Counter-Reformation, with the only barrel aisle and the choir in counter-fated.

Some 18th century paintings by G.B. Rossi decorates the interior. But the most important artistic evidence is the marble altar

committed and the Communes, also of coloured marble, elegantly decorated with angels.

Connected to the Church there is a convent destined to the Benedictine nuns already in the 11th century and then passed to the Franciscan order.

In 2017, the Carisal Foundation launched a planning path aimed at restoring, enhancing and re-functioning the former convent, with the aim of creating a new point of reference promoting social, cultural and environmental activities for the community, and in particular for young people (www.complessosanmichele.it).
