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 monks are renovating the guest house (Casa Ospiti) to meet safety rules: removing architectural barriers, new visitor toilets and a bathroom for each room. The Art Bonus sheet lists a EUR 400,000 project with works in progress; spending so far has outrun the donations received.
