Charterhouse of Trisulti, handed the keys back to the state. It is now public property again

In March, the affair of the Certosa di Trisulti, an important thirteenth-century monastery in Collepardo (Frosinone) that had been given in concession in 2017 to the Dignitatis Humanae Institute (DHI) foundation, the school of theAmerican ultra-right close to Steve Bannon, had come to an end. On March 15, 2021, the Council of State agreed with the Ministry of Culture that DHI did not qualify for the concession, after a two-year legal battle.

"Handing back the keys to the Charterhouse of Trisulti. Comunità Solidali thanks all the men and women citizens, associations, and lawyers who have made this day come, making themselves custodians of beauty and culture“: with these words the citizens’ associations that fought for the project of the American ultra-right not to materialize in the monastery announced the handing back of the keys. ”At last the Charterhouse of Trisulti is back as a public good," they said.

“The Carthusian Monastery of Trisulti is back in the hands of the state,” commented Massimo Osanna, director general Museums of the MiC. “With the handing back of the keys of the national monument, which took place this morning (on July 26), by the representatives of the Dignitatis Humanae Institute association, a much-discussed concession ceases, which from the beginning had formal flaws fully recognized by the Council of State ruling. Thanks are due to the Lazio Region with which the ministry signed an agreement for reopening projects, to the cultural realities of the area that flanked the ministry structures in this circumstance, and to the administrative judiciary for the successful conclusion of the affair. Now we need to work for the future of the Carthusian Monastery, which, as Minister Franceschini has already said, is located at the center of the path of St. Benedict and, therefore, would be the ideal crossroads of paths.”
