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, 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 women all escaped without harm, but the monastery, which was built in 1628, was nearly destroyed.
The nuns were watching a live television stream of Pope Leo XIV’s prayer vigil for peace in St. Peter's at the time of the fire.
