The Case of Monastero San Felice
On this occasion, it is presented the specific study case of Monastero San Felice, site of
the Faculty of Economics of University of Pavia.
This Monastery, historically one of the most important female Benedictine monasteries in
Pavia, was founded during the Lombard times, abandoned in the eighteenth century and
since 1793 it has been used as an orphanage.
From the ancient monastery it remains the sixteenth century cloister, restored in 1939
together with the ancient San Felice Church, currently used as a study room for the
university. During the restoration it was tried to return the cloister to its original
configuration, and in particular it was brought to light the original side that overlooks San
Felice street.
