This building was conceived in 1955 to be a boarding school, becoming over the years a place abandoned to itself. The building is four floors high, has many laboratories, a chapel, several offices, and administrative structures. 
It was assigned to the architect Glauco Gresleri by the religious order of the Padri Passionisti to realize a boarding school with a professional teaching focus.

It has already turned fifty, but in its life, it has not yet concluded anything good, and now it is just waiting to be cut down to make room for luxury villas. Yet it is considered one of the most important modern architectures of the city.

An ambitious project that was stopped after the construction of the first two lots in the mid 60′s. Since then the building has been abandoned to itself, as it is today, waiting for a redevelopment project.

Abandoned before being inhabited. The hermitage with the professional training center and convent of the Passionist Fathers, the title of "Monster" earned it in the field. Or rather on the hill from which dominates the town of Casalecchio di Reno, a town on the outskirts of Bologna, with a profile that is easily recognizable thanks to the characteristic tower more than twenty-five meters high.
