The Carthusian monk's life between cell and Cubicolo
Serra San Bruno: the Carthusian's cell, where the monk spend greatest part of his time in the contemplation of the Lord, consists of an upper floor and of a ground floor. Here there is a woodshed and the opportunity to reach a small closed garden where the monk can practice some activities. On the upper floor, next to a first "Ave Maria" room - since there is a representation of the virgin Mary - there is the cell's real heart: the "Cubicolo". It is a real artwork. It is furnished with a wooden bed closed on three sides as if it was a closet, with an oratory composed of a seat and of a kneeling bench and, under the window, there is a table functioning both as desk and as dining table. A small wood-burning stove completes the furniture.
