Certosa di Trisulti Reopens to Public After State Victory Over Bannon
The Certosa di Trisulti, a 13th-century monastic complex in the province of Frosinone, Italy, reopened to the public on November 9, 2021, following a legal victory by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and several associations. The Council of State ruled in favor of the ministry's appeal to evict Steve Bannon, the former Trump strategist, who had acquired the historic religious-monumental complex with plans to establish an anti-Europeanist and nationalist school. The decision marks a victory for Italian cultural heritage, returning the site to public ownership and accessibility.
