The Abbey of Saints Fabiano and Sebastiano is one of the oldest and most important monuments in the Lavino Valley, located in a geographically strategic position which has made it a welcoming place for travellers, since its origins, in the 8th-9th century. Various events have accompanied the thousand-year life of the Abbey and its numerous properties: it was a Benedictine convent until 1408, and subsequently a Commenda, that is, a benefit with income from the rich land heritage in favor of illustrious people, including Ludovico Beccadelli, to whom it is dedicated the decoration of the main altar. In 1586 it passed to the Montalto College of Bologna; in 1797, following the Napoleonic suppressions, it became the private property of the Castelli, Nicoletti and finally Mainoldi families who in 2000 donated the church to the Municipality of Monte San Pietro. In 2005 the building was completely restored; the works which involved the consolidation of the structure, the reconstruction of the roof and the floor, brought to light a series of frescoes which document unpublished moments in the history of the monument. https://www.cuorecollibolognesi.it/it/cosa-fare/punti-di-interest/abbazia-dei-santi-fabiano-e-sebastiano/

from Tagliola go up to the right along via san Michele, a tough climb with peaks at 19% but once you reach the top you are rewarded for all the effort: 360° panorama

An ancient abbey, deconsecrated since the 18th century, with a tower and a small garden. Very well kept, all in exposed stone as is the case for a historic building in these places. It's worth a little digression if you pass by. It belongs to a private individual so I don't think you can visit it. https://www.tourer.it/scheda?ex-abbazia-dei-santi-fabiano-e-sebastiano-badia-mongiorgio-monte-san-pietro
