Description
A community of humans and animals under construction. We are vegetarians and we are the largest Christian abbey in Europe in terms of land. We need help with the work. we are in the heart of Tuscany, in the Apennines at about 700 meters above sea level. In summer it is airy and in winter it is not very cold. An ideal time setting. We are surrounded by 600 hectares of our property of fir, pine, beech and chestnut trees and every night animals of all kinds come to visit us. About half an hour from us is the city of Florence, the capital of culture after Rome.

Cultural exchange also takes place through our meditative and liturgical practices.
