Her name can be translated as "The Hermitage of St. Michael". Chiusa di San Michele is located in northwestern Italy, at the southeastern end of the Val di Susa . Presumably the border fortifications of the Lombards were located here , who blocked access from southern France via the alpine passes of Mont Cenis and Montgenèvre to northern Italy. The last Lombard king, Desiderius , tried in vain to stop Charlemagne's troops here in 773 .
