If you’re looking for magical legends and mysterious stories, you’re in the perfect spot as they shroud the Island of San Giulio; Lake Orta’s only island.<\/h3>\n

The Benedictine Women’s Abbey of Clausura Mater Ecclesiae is located in the 19th<\/sup> Century Palazzo dei Vescovi<\/em>. The monastic settlement, of only six nuns at that moment, dates back to 1973 as a foundation of the abbey of Viboldone (MI). Currently, the abbey is home to about eighty Benedictine nuns who preserve and keep alive the traditions of Santo Guglielmo of Volpiano who was born on the island and greatly contributed to the spread of monasticism in Europe.<\/p>\n

In the distant past it was said to be a place infested with dragons, snakes and sea monsters and to have been struck by violent storms. According to legend, this is the island that at the end of the 4th<\/sup>\u00a0 Century welcomed the Saint who decided to build a church on it as a way to free it from the evils of paganism. Sailing on his cloak, San Giulio faced the beasts which inhabited the waters of the lake in order to land on the island where he erected his hundredth and last church.<\/p>\n

The historical period of reference is that of pagan evangelization, when monsters were symbols of evil and incarnated, according to the Christian religion, the pagan cult.<\/p>\n

Walking on the island today, you’ll have the chance to take this enchanted setting; the lake and surrounding mountains become an actual painting in the open air.<\/p>\n

Over the centuries, the church of San Giulio has undergone continuous expansions of various architectural influences. The exterior has a simple, romantic style.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Basilica, there is a pathway, the Via del Silenzio<\/em>, adorned with aphorisms about silence and meditation making it the perfect place for a moment of\u00a0 contemplation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ style=”light” back_color=”color-dfgh” overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ css_animation=”bottom-t-top” width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
