Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of the Badia di Grottaferrata, a majestic abbey nestled amidst the picturesque hills of Tusculum, Italy, just outside of Rome. Founded in 1004 by Saint Nilus the Younger, a Greek monk fleeing Saracen persecution, the abbey has stood as a beacon of spirituality and culture for centuries. The book traces the abbey's evolution from its humble origins as a small hermitage to its transformation into a thriving monastic community under the patronage of the powerful Conti di Tuscolo family. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, the author brings to life the key figures who shaped the abbey's destiny, including Saint Bartholomew, its third abbot and a close confidant of Pope John XIX, who consecrated the abbey's magnificent basilica in 1024. The book also explores the abbey's architectural treasures, including its stunning basilica, adorned with exquisite Byzantine mosaics and frescoes, and its serene cloisters and gardens, which have provided solace and inspiration to countless visitors throughout the centuries. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the intertwined histories of Christianity, art, and architecture, shedding light on the enduring legacy of the Badia di Grottaferrata as a spiritual and cultural landmark of inestimable value. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …

Questo volume propone un racconto vivido della Badia di Grottaferrata e del paesaggio che le sta attorno.
Tra abbazia, chiese, ville e terrazzamenti, si ricostruisce come la vita monastica abbia intrecciato fede, arte e comunità rurale, nel contesto tra Roma e il mare.
