Abbazia di Santa Giustina - Padova
The Benedictine abbey of Santa Giustina on Prato della Valle in Padua, cradle of the 15th-century Cassinese reform. The complex belongs to the Italian State and is lived in and cared for by the monks.
The basilica's great organ needs restoration; earlier maintenance was always paid for by the monastic community. An Art Bonus collection is open for a project costed at EUR 174,840, of which about EUR 21,500 had been given by the end of October 2026.
Before you act. Art Bonus gifts earn Italian taxpayers a 65% tax credit; the scheme is of little fiscal use to donors without Italian tax liability.

Milan, Italy
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.
Asciano, Italy
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.
