The Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Germagno is a Benedictine priory of the Subiaco-Cassinese Congregation and was founded in 1971. Located on the slopes of Mount Massone, it juts out, as if from a natural balcony, over Lake Orta. The monastery, as the house of God, of which the monks themselves are the first guests, remains a place where everyone can draw refreshment and peace. Men and women can thus share this atmosphere of listening to reinvigorate their daily journey, through a brief stop in the chapel ordinarily open, a meeting with a brother or the hospitality that the community offers for one or more days. The most important sector is agriculture, which includes, in addition to the care of the garden and the forest to make them welcoming and pleasant, the recovery of ancient terraces, their reclamation and the cultivation of undergrowth fruits and fruit. Given the location of the Monastery at 730 meters above sea level and the characteristics of the soil, blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, white currants, red currants, but also apples, pears, plums, peaches, quince, medlars, rhubarb, etc., are grown. A laboratory engages some brothers in the transformation of this fruit into jam, which is placed on the market to give sustenance to the community. The guest is invited to participate in the daily life of the community, sharing its atmosphere of silence and solitude, liturgical prayer, manual work and meals. This sharing, balanced according to the guest himself and his needs, constitutes the particular form of 'spiritual exercises' that the community offers to its guests, who are in any case accompanied, during their stay in the monastery, by a brother. To take advantage of this hospitality, a telephone agreement is required and a short meeting in advance is normally preferable to get to know each other and assess the needs of each one. Larger groups or families who would like to take advantage above all of the prayer life of the community or of a meeting with a brother on a theme related to our life and our research, can be welcomed for the duration of a day, but without the possibility of receiving a meal. Groups who want to stay for several days can be accommodated in a renovated hut near the monastery. The structure will be entrusted in self-management, accompanied in any case in the immersion in the atmosphere of prayer by a brother. Honey, jams, marmalades and creams, alcohol are just some of the typical products that you will find in our online shop, all strictly produced in our Monastery. What makes our products special? The fact that they are produced and packaged in the Monastery of Germagno according to ancient traditions and recipes of the monks. Since 2017, the Monastery has been the head of the supply chain of a beautiful project, which has now become a reality, which unites under the name 'Sapori e Delizie' companies of their territory that produce, transform and market typical Piedmontese products also in catering. It is a multi-product supply chain that wants to enhance the characteristics of the territory by focusing on small fruits, honey, some typical vegetables (the Quarna potato), milk derivatives and meat. The inclusion in the supply chain of companies in the processing, marketing, catering and hotel hospitality segment aims to help producers think of their business not only from their point of view, but to learn to listen to those who grasp the demand. This will help all partners to orient their investments and choices differently and more efficiently. One of the objectives of the project is to create new products for hotel catering (jams, honey and juices in single-dose format), to start a mini-dairy for milk processing and to support the meat supply chain with a processing laboratory for the production of sausages.
