Abbadia Lariana (Lecchese: Badia) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Lecco in the Italian region of Lombardy, located about 50km (30miles) northeast of Milan and about 8km (05miles) northwest of Lecco. The village has about 3,280 inhabitants and its name comes from an abbey (abbazia in Italian) founded in the 9th century and later destroyed.
Archaeological excavations dated the first settlement to Roman period. The benedictine abbey was founded in 770 - 775 by the Lombardic King Desiderius[2] and gave the name to the city. During the 17th to 19th centuries, the silk industry developed here, from 1817 led by the family of Pietro Monti, later by Cima.
