Europe Italy Piedmont Sacra di San Michele abbey the fresco in the church. The peculiar element of the Sacra di San Michele is its location at the top of Mount Pirchiriano, a rocky outcrop in the group of Rocciavré in the Hautes Alpes (altitude 962 meters above sea level). Pirchiriano is the ancient name of the mountain, elegant form of Porcarianus or upstream of Pigs, like the neighboring Caprasio, or upstream of the Goats, and Musinè or upstream of the Donkeys. The mountain sees the presence of human habitation since prehistoric times. In later times it is fortified by the Ligurians and later Celts under the dominion of the two kings Cozio. In 63 A.D. when the Hautes Alpes become Roman Province, the site, given its strategic location, is exploited by the Romans as an area of military interest, "Castrum". From 569 A.D. The Lombards invade and occupy the Hautes Alpes. And 'in this period in the Susa Valley are erected the famous "Locks of the Lombards." These erected walls and towers across the valley when, under the leadership of their king Desiderius and his son Adelchi, flocked to resist the entry into Italy of Charlemagne, king of the Franks. In 773 A.D. the latter won the battle of the Dams, conquered the area and remain there until 888 AD, when the Saracens invaded the western Alps and exercise their domain for eighty years.
