The Abbazia dei Santi Fidenzio e Terenzio, situated in the green countryside, is privatly owned and accepts visitors only for two hours per week. In summer. It was locked and could not see the crypt, that dates to the 9th century. This was, when the convent was founded and an oratory was erected on the burial place of the two martyrs Fidenzio and Terenzio. When I climbed over the fence, the morning fog was still around. The abbey church in the background was probably built in the 11th century, but altered later.
