Dr. Gianni Della Rocca of IPSP-CNR, together with the Carabinieri forestali, biodiversity group, visited the Benedictine Abbey of Vallombrosa to make arrangements on the organization of the technical seminar of LIFE MycoRestore to be held here in Vallombrosa on June 16th 2022.
The Vallombrosan congregation of the monastic order of Saint Benedict is historically and closely linked to the cultivation of the forest. The whiter fir forests of the Vallombrosa Biogenetic Nature Reserve that surround the Abbey are due to the monastic culture of the forest.
