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�s ones.
