Cervara Abbey — Attraction in Santa Margherita Ligure

L’Abbazia della Cervara, è proprietá privata nonostante rappresenti notevole valore storico culturale per ogni cittadino europeo e italiano(fu costruita nel 1361 ed ha ospitato monaci benedettini, tre papi, santa Caterina da Siena, la prigionia di il re francese Francesco I). Per questa ragione le visite sono costose e limitate a due sole domeniche in pochi mesi dell’anno. Raccomandiamo all’Unione Europea e allo Stato Italiano di avviare un iter legale per la riappropriazione pubblica di questo bene.

We recommend that the European Union and the Italian state initiate a legal process for the public re-appropriation of this property.
