The Santi Vito e Salvo (originally San Vito sul Trigno) monastery was a Cistercian abbey in Abruzzo , Italy . It was located near the current town of San Salvo in the province of Chieti near the Trigno river , which today forms the border with the Molise region , around 5 km from the Adriatic coast .
history
The founding history of the abbey is largely in the dark. The derivation from an abbey of Santa Maria di Cordia should not apply, because this monastery does not appear in the sources of the order. According to the documents of the General Chapter of 1255, the Order received a Hospital San Vito, which was to be converted into an abbey. The convent of Tre Fontane near Rome , which was envisaged as the mother monastery and which was also supposed to send the founding convent, did not become the mother monastery for unknown reasons, but became the Ferraria monastery . In 1257 the monastery was already occupied, and in 1259 the monastery was involved in the founding of the monastery of Santa Maria dello Sterpeto . The name of the monastery was soon added to that of St. Salvo, who is considered the founder of the hospital and after whom the place around the monastery was named. The Cistercians stayed in the monastery, which had fallen in Kommende in 1445, until 1453 and fled from a Turkish invasion that year. Subsequently, Celestine monks occupied the monastery, but the monastery property was transferred to the municipality in 1775 and to the Crown of Sicily in 1789.
