Brondolo Monastery (Santissima Trinità and S. Michele; Brundulum) was a Cistercian monk abbey in present-day Veneto , Italy . It was near Chioggia in the province of Venice , near the mouth of the Brenta River in the area of today's island of Borgo San Giovanni .
history
A Benedictine monastery in Brondolo is documented as early as 724 . As his discipline waned, Pope Gregory IX trusted it . 1229 in a letter to the abbot of Chiaravalle della Colomba monastery to the Cistercian order. This immediately sent a founding convention under Abbot Zilio, who took possession of the monastery. Thus the monastery belonged to the filiation of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . In the following period the monastery was consolidated, but in the wake of the rivalry between the cities of Venice and Genoa (" War of Chioggia ") in 1379 Genoese naval troops occupied Chioggia and tore down Brondolo. The Venice Senate decided to fortify the site. The monks received the Santo Spirito monastery on a small island in the lagoon of Venice , which had been abandoned by the Augustinian choirs. This was in 1409 by the Senate and Pope Gregory XII. approved. However, the Cistercian monastery soon disappeared and was no longer mentioned when the Italian Cistercian congregation was founded in 1497.
