Staffarda Abbey

Staffarda Abbey ("Santa Maria di Staffarda"), located near Saluzzo in north-west Italy, is a Cistercian monastery founded as a daughter house of Tiglieto Abbey in 1135 by Manfredo I Marquis of Saluzzo. The abbey became an important local centre for agriculture and held a flourishing market. It was placed "in commendam" to the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus in 1750.
