Quartazzola Monastery (Ponte Trebbia) was a Cistercian abbey in Emilia-Romagna , Italy . It was in Gossolengo, around 8 km southwest of Piacenza in the province of the same name .
history
In 1142, Bishop Arduin of Piacenza handed over land in Gossolengo to two Benedictine monks from the monastery of Santa Maria di Pulsano in Apulia to establish a monastery after the observance of Pulsano. The monastery, built by a bridge over the Trebbia River , was four miles from Piacenza and was therefore also called Quartazzola. It was initially called San Salvatore. The monastery became impoverished due to armed conflict, so that the monks abandoned it. As a result, the Chiaravalle della Colomba monastery sent a convent of its monks to the monastery in 1217, who repopulated it. The monastery, which thus belonged to the filiation of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey , took on the name Santa Maria. In the 15th century, the monastery fell in Kommende . In 1497 it joined the Italian Cistercian Congregation. The first abolition of the monastery took place in 1769, but was reversed in 1777. In 1786 it was incorporated into the Roman province of this congregation with the two other Cistercian monasteries in the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza. It was abolished in the Napoleonic era in 1810.
Plant and buildings
In the former monastery, which was converted in the Baroque style, there is said to be an agricultural enterprise.
