Description


La certosa di Farneta è una monastero di Lucca che si trova nella località omonima Storia e descrizione Il primitivo nucleo, costruito alla metà del XIV secolo, venne modificato nel XVII secolo; ai primi del Novecento fu più che raddoppiato per ospitare la comunità della Grande Chartreuse, espulsa dalla Francia. La chiesa, consacrata nel 1358, mostra l'aspetto assunto dopo i rifacimenti della fine del Seicento. La decorazione pittorica ad affresco di Stefano Cassiani, detto il Certosino, ricopre tutte le pareti; una grande edicola marmorea inquadra la Discesa dello Spirito Santo. Adiacenti alla chiesa si trovano il chiostro piccolo e la sala capitolare, dove è conservata un'Annunciazione seicentesca. Attorno al Chiostro Grande sono disposte le celle dei monaci, vere e proprie casette, separate le une dalle altre. La Certosa non è visitabile. Onorificenze Medaglia d'oro al Merito Civile « Comunità  conventuale sempre occupata nel soccorso dei più deboli, durante l'ultimo conflitto mondiale, con spirito cristiano ed encomiabile virtù civile, si prodigava offrendo aiuto ai perseguitati politici, agli ebrei e a quanti sfuggivano ai rastrellamenti. Subiva la feroce rappresaglia da parte dei soldati tedeschi che pure aveva accolto, sacrificando la vita di numerosi suoi certosini, separati dai confratelli, deportati e dispersi. Nobile esempio di grande spirito di sacrificio e di umana solidarietà .» 1943/1944 Lucca The Charterhouse of Farneta is a monastery of Lucca, which is located in the homonymous History and Description The primitive core, built in the middle of the fourteenth century, was remodeled in the seventeenth century to the early twentieth century was more than doubled to accommodate the community of Grande Chartreuse, expelled from France.
