EDOARDO BORRI GIANNELLI - CLOYSTER

Behind stone walls and iron grates, a quiet revolution unfolds.
Here, in a life shaped by rhythm, ritual and silence,
a group of women has chosen enclosure not as confinement, but as liberation.
Their retreat from the noise of the world marks the beginning
of a deeper search, not for isolation, but for presence.

Following the Benedictine rule, the monastery holds sacred both the guest
and the Spirit that dwells within its walls. The sisters come from varied paths,
some from struggle, others from stability, some from nearby hills,
others from distant shores.
For some, the cloister has been home for decades.
For others, it is a new and unfamiliar stillness.

Amid the quiet hills of Umbria,
they have discovered something precious:
not a destination, but a beginning.
