The roofs of the abbey church are degraded: tile courses are irregular and water is getting in and damaging the frescoes inside. The monks' official Art Bonus sheet prices the roof works at just over EUR 1.02 million, of which about EUR 205,550 has been donated; a second open project restores the 16th-century entrance tower.

The Agenzia del Demanio is offering it on a 6- to 50-year 'concessione di valorizzazione' to whoever presents the best project to restore and reuse it for cultural, social, civic or tourism purposes that keep it open to the public.
