After months of waiting and uncertainty, the guidelines on the new visiting arrangements for the Certosa di Pavia have finally arrived!
The Cistercian monks, who have animated the monastery over the past decades, will leave the complex, which will become part of the Lombard museums managed by the Regional Directorate of Museums of Lombardy.
