Sacra di San Michele Fine Art Print

The Sacra di San Michele, sometimes known as Saint Michael's Abbey, is an ancient medieval abbey in Val di Susa on Mount Pirchiriano, is one of the landmarks of the Piedmont. A special regional law acknowledges it as the 'Symbolic monument of the Piedmont region'. The Sacra di San Michele evokes beauty, charm, and mystery - that mystery that has enveloped it right from its construction, which occurred between 983 and 987 AD. It is a wonderful place, dense with spirituality; originally protected by the Benedictine monks, since 1837, it has been entrusted to the Rosminian Fathers. The history, the spiritual value, and landscape that surrounds it inspired Umberto Eco to write his best-seller The Name of the Rose and make the Sacra a popular destination for visitors from all over Europe. It is also one of the most enchanting places in Italy, important not only for tourism, but also for Italian history and literature. A source of inspiration for countless forms of art, it has always evoked an intense mystical atmosphere frozen in time.

I want you to love your print.

Please note: final print colors may look slightly different than on your screen due to monitor variations - but the print will always be more beautiful in person!

Most orders are printed and shipped within 7 - 14 days, depending on the destination. Express options may be available on request.

Select a size that balances with your wall and furniture. A good guideline is for the artwork to cover about half to two-thirds of the width of the furniture it hangs above.

Keep the print away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources. Museum-grade framing and UV-protective glass will ensure it lasts for generations.
