During the itinerary, visit of the very old Abbey
of Farfa, custodian of a thousand-years old hi-
story and considered one of the most significant
monuments in the European Medium Era. The
Abbey has received many donations, privileges,
extemptions from the imperators and popes so
it became one real authority. Farfa has been an
imperial abbey, released from the pontifical con-
trol, but very closed to the Santa Sede (Vatican).
Today, when the temporal power is lost, the Ab-
bazia di Farfa has become a pleasant place of cult
and a magnificent representation of architecture.
