Description
Founded in 1011 by Alferio of Papparcone , who became a Cluny monk and lived as a hermit from 1011. Urban II endowed this monastery with many privileges and took the monastery with the adjacent territory under papal jurisdiction.
The church and most of the buildings were completely modernized in 1796.
The monastery holds rich archives of public and private documents dating back to the eighth century, for example, the Codex Legum Longobardorum in 1004 , and the La Cava Bible and several remarkable incunabula . The monastery later became the site of a national educational institution, under the tutelage of the Benedictines .
