Novalesa Abbey ((イタリア語:Abbazia di Novalesa)) is a Benedictine monastery in Piedmont, Italy. It was founded in 726, and dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Andrew.〔(Piemontefeel - MUSEI )〕 Novalesa is in the Val di Susa, on the route to the Mont Cenis Pass, and on the former Via Francigena, a major pilgrimage road.〔(Abbazia di Novalesa - abbey Turin Building Tiscover )〕 The abbey is still in operation as an active Benedictine monastery.〔(Montagnedoc - Culture - Abbeys - Novalesa Abbey )〕 ==History== The abbey was officially founded on 30 January 726, by will of local lord Abbo of Provence,〔(piedmontese history 1 )〕 with a parchment still preserved in the State Archives of Turin, in a position commanding the Mont Cenis Pass pass. Benedictine monastery, was placed in the Susa Valley, in this strategic staging point between Italy and France. The founding monks are thought to have come from the Grenoble region.〔(Savorie, Provence and Alps Carolingian Visitor's Guide, Carolingian sites, French feudal coins )〕 It became an important monastery with Charlemagne, who stayed there. The abbey enriched its possession through donations and privileges from the Frankish rulers Pepin the Short, Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, until its possessions reached the western Ligurian mainland. In 817 it adopted the Benedictine rule. The first phase of the abbey's history, abbot Eldrado's era, came to an end when it was destroyed by Saracen raiders in 906.〔''The Italian Cities and the Arabs before 1095'', Hilmar C. Krueger, A History of the Crusades: The First Hundred Years, Vol.I, ed. Kenneth Meyer Setton, Marshall W. Baldwin, (University of Pennsylvania Press, 1955), 51.〕〔(In Italy Online - La Via Francigena In The "Valley Of The Abbeys" )〕 Most monks moved to Turin, while others moved to Lomellina (in southern Lombardy) where they founded the monastery of Breme. The abbey was rebuilt in the early 11th century by Gezo, abbot of Breme according to the Chronicon Novaliciense. In 1646 the Benedictines were replaced by Cistercian monks, who remained here until 1796, when they were expelled by the Piedmontese provisional government. A third refoundation occurred after the monks of a hospital established by Napoleon at the Mont Cenis (1802) moved back to Novalesa after the emperor's fall. However, they were again expelled in 1855 and the abbey's building auctioned under the laws of expropriation of the Piedmontese government. The complex was acquired by the province of Turin in 1972 and was revived in 1973 with the return of the Benedictine monks, who still live there.〔Segusium, Numero speciale su Novalesa e la sua Abbazia, Dicembre 1973, Anno X, n. 10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Novalesa Abbey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
