Santa Maria di Palazzolo (Palatiolum) Monastery is a former Cistercian abbey in what is now Lazio , Italy . It was in the municipality of Albano Laziale in the metropolitan city of Rome .
history
Below Monte Cavo on Lake Albano was a church that belonged to the monastery of S. Saba on the small Aventine in Rome. The abbot of S. Saba is said to have given this church to a prior Sixtus and some hermits in 1204. Pope Honorius III. obliged the community in 1220 to accept the Augustinian rule . In 1237 the convent was attached to the Tre Fontane monastery , to whose abbot it was initially directly subordinate. In 1244 it was raised to the status of an independent Cistercian abbey. So it belonged to the filiation of the Clairvaux Primary Abbey . The monastery suffered first from the occidental schism and then from the coming and at the end of the 14th century (probably 1398) the Cistercians withdrew completely from the monastery. However, the title of abbot was still awarded to a monk from Catacumbas Monastery in 1548 . Pope Boniface IX handed the monastery over to the Carthusian monastery of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme , who needed an alternative accommodation from Rome, which was infested with malaria in summer. In 1458 the monastery came from the Carthusians to the Minorites . It was restored at the beginning of the 17th century. It is now owned by the Inglese College of Rome.
