When the king’s Victor Emmanuel grandfather. i. ceded spe- al protocol provided that the do- main should remain the inalien- able property of the House of Savoy. The abbey, partly a royal resi- dence, partly a monastery, is vis- ited at least once a year by Italian royalty. Founded im 1125 by St. Rernard and Count Amedeo III of Savoy, the abbey was famed as a seat of learning. Two popes, Celstin IV and Nicholas TT, were educated there and Innocent IV foand ref- uge in it from the German em- peror, Frederick II. | i due to the fact that there is now only one ferry in operation.
