A Carthusian monastery (from the Latin *cartusia*) is a monastery of the Carthusian Order. This order is considered one of the strictest and most solitary orders of the Catholic Church. Unlike most other monasteries, the monks in a Carthusian monastery do not live in dormitories, but as hermits. Each monk lives in his own small house with a private garden. The monks spend most of the day silently and alone in their houses, where they pray, study, and work (e.g., gardening or crafts). They only gather in the church or refectory for certain services (such as Matins) and for the communal Sunday meal.

from Podio towards Bene vagienna, road along the Enel canal much more pleasant than the parallel state road, flat and cool. Too bad for the construction of the cement factory that totally ruins the area, where there is also a deer farm
