Fire Damages Historic Italian Monastery
A fire severely damaged the 17th-century Bernaga Monastery outside of Milan in northern Italy, forcing 21 cloistered nuns to flee the blaze.
The Ambrosian nuns managed to save a relic of St. Carlo Acutis, who received his first holy Communion at the monastery on June 16, 1998.
- The fire broke out around 7:30 p.m. on November 11.
- Nine firefighting teams intervened to put out the blaze.
- The monastery, built in 1628, was nearly destroyed.
The women all escaped without harm.
The nuns were watching a live television stream of Pope Leo XIV’s prayer vigil for peace in St. when the fire started.
