OVIGLIO (AL) - Oviglio was one of the eight settlements, called statielli, which contributed to the foundation of the city of Alessandria in the second half of the 12th century. We offer for sale an entire building with a typical 1400 structure used in past centuries as a convent and still renowned today (CONVENTO DEI SERVI DI MARIA). The structure has a current covered area of approx. 2000 and the original cloister of the time and various frescoes in different rooms of the former convent are still preserved. The imposing size of the structure allows the possibility of creating a private residence and/or possible RSA. Attached to the convent is the property of agricultural land of 33,000 m2 - Historical notes: The convent was suppressed, together with many others, by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802, after which the rebuilt church of Sant'Agata quickly fell into ruin, while the part of the building reserved for the monks' residence, transformed into a private residence and adequately restored, still today retains all its majesty and architectural beauty, above all for the porticoes that recall the cloister and the numerous original frescoes which are kept in good state of repair. Even today there is an underground passage (now walled up) which connected the convent directly to the town's castle.
