As you drive over the Passo Pian delle Fugazze in Italy, between Vivenza and Rovereto for the first time, you are due for something of a surprise. The Leno valley of the Trento province is home to the Hermitage of San Colombano.
You would expect a hermitage to be somewhat off the beaten track but this takes isolation to a new height - literally.

WOW! How amazing and incredible considering it was built in the fourteenth century.
I live not far from this place, is really amazing...
just to be precise the city that you mentioned is Vicenza not Vivenza ;)
There is a very similiar monastry that is built in the city of Trabzon in north east Turkey.
