Sant'Angelo Monastery in Frigido (or in Fringillo / Frigillo, Sanctus Angelus in Fringillis) was a Cistercian abbey in Calabria , Italy . It was around 3 km from Mesoraca in what is now the province of Crotone at the foot of the Sila Mountains at an altitude of around 800 m.
history
The Cistercians are in Sant'Angelo in 1220 in a letter from Pope Honorius III. and the foundation of the monastery is dated this year or the previous year, after a Benedictine settlement or a grangie of the Sambucina monastery is said to have already existed. Others speak of a mention by Pope Innocent III. as early as 1205. The founding convention came from the Sambucina monastery and thus the abbey belonged to the filiation of the Clairvaux primary abbey . The monastery is said to have belonged to the small monasteries of Santo Stefano del Vergari, Santa Maria di Archelao and San Nicola di Pineto. It later fell into Coming and entered the 1633 kalabresisch-Luke Cistercian Congregation for, but was with the smaller monasteries in 1652 by Pope Innocent X dissolved.
