A 13th century monastery south of Rome
where ex-Trump aide Steve Bannon had planned to set up an
international school for populist nationalists reopened to the
Italian public after a restoration on Monday.
The Certosa di Trisulti, a former Carthusian monastery or
charterhouse near Frosinone, was consecrated in 1211, becoming a
national monument in 1873.
Last March an Italian court ruled to eject Bannon's would-be
nationalists' think tank from the abbey
The Council of State, Italy's highest administrative court,
upheld a regional motion to evict Bannon's Dignitatis Humanae
Institute from the medieval Trisulti Charterhouse.
At the reopening on Monday, Lazio Governor Nicola Zingaretti
said "it was very important to get the 'sovereigntist' school
out of the abbey".
He called the charterhouse "a European marvel in our territory".
Culture Minister Dario Franceschini said the restoration and
reopening were "a beautiful Italian story of redemption".
