We want to explore the Piedmont region as we did past Fall, but what have we not seen yet?
Sacra di San Michele is about 40 minutes away in the mountains so we decided to give it a shot.
Hopefully it would be a bit cooler up there!
Got to a small town on Lake Avigliana, very pretty.
Time for pizza.
It was quite a way up there but finally the road ends, you park and hike the rest of the way.
Michael the Archangel is mentioned five times in Holy Scripture, in particular, in the book of Daniel, he portrayed as the supreme ruler of the heavenly army in defending persecuted Jews, whilst in the book of Revelation, Michael is prince of the angels faithful to God; he fights and defeats the dragon (Satan) and the rebel angels.
It looked worse than it actually was, but it was probably a half hour trek to the top.
We wore our tennis shoes but yes, some Italian women we saw had 3 inch heels.
I'm just a wimp I guess.
Which way?
ALMOST there!
Once we got to the top and bought our tickets to get in we somehow became part of a tour.
Cool, right?
Umm....not when the VERY verbose guy only speaks Italian...
Half an hour later.... we got to see the interoir.
MORE to come...

We knew driving up the mountain would be...interesting, but wow.
