Astino Abbey (Italian : Monastero di Astino) is a former Roman Catholic monastery in the Astino Valley, in the Province of Bergamo, region of Lombardy, Italy. It is no longer active. The buildings were restored in 2015.
Astino Abbey was founded around the year 1070 by members of the Vallumbrosan Order. The Romanesque church and the first conventual buildings were built by Bertario, the first abbot, who supervised the abbey for 21 years until 1128. During the second half of the 15th century the Astino Monastery acquired lands from all over the province. [1]
The monastery was suppressed on 4 July 1797 by the civil authorities of Bergamo. Its assets were given to the nearby hospital, founded and previously run by the monks. In 1832 the site was put to use as a psychiatric hospital, which it remained until 1892. It was then used for agricultural purposes, and was sold to private buyers in 1923. [1]
In 1973 the property was acquired by a private company for conversion into a golfing centre, but the plan ran into so much opposition that it never came to fruition. In 2007 the "Congregazione della Misericordia Maggiore" purchased it and completely renovated the church in 2013. [1]
