The Sabina region, only 50 km far from Rome, is one of the italian territories with plenty of cultural heritages and traditions, not yet fully recognized. Since pre-roman period ( XI e VIII cent. B.C.) Sabina region became famous for its agricolture, in particular the olive-growing, and for the applied arts, with many very interesting witnesses inside its several middle-age villages. Just in the heart of this land it is placed the Farfa Abbey, one of the architectural masterpieces of the whole Latium, the region of Rome. |

Founded by the Benedictines in the VI cent. A.C. the Abbey progressively broadened its religious and administrative control to the whole center of Italy, becoming in the middle-age a very powerful organisation with economic interests often in conflict with the Roman Pope¯Â¿Â½s ones. |
