life and work
Mossi, who first entered the Capuchin order in Milan , moved to the Cistercian monastery of San Bernardo alle Terme in Rome in 1824 and was (from 1825) a very committed pastor in the newly founded parish of the same name for 35 years. In 1839 he was appointed titular abbot of the Abbey of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Foce, Amelia (Umbria) (without changing location) . From 1847 to 1850 he was General Procurator and from 1850 to 1853 (as successor to Livio Fabretti ) Abbot General of the Cistercian Order (also abbot of the Santa Croce Monastery in Gerusalemme ). He renounced because of illness (successor: Angelo Geniani ), but remained pastor. In the church of San Bernardo alle Terme there is his monument (which goes back to an initiative of Cardinal Lucien-Louis-Joseph-Napoleon Bonaparte , who saw him as a brother).
