History of “Monte del Re”

In the parish territory of San Lorenzo of piss, as early as the Marquis Malvezzi Camping, m. 289 above sea level, on a pleasant hill adorned with cypresses, rose in the thirteenth century and lived for over five centuries, the small convent of Friars Minor Conventual Mount King was certainly the mystical atmosphere that surrounds him that someone called the Mountain King " Colle del Paradiso, which is already in a diploma in 1266, Clement IV had called the hill of Assisi.
It ignores, unfortunately, the exact year of the founding of the convent, because of the disappearance of the archive was most certainly the time of the Napoleonic suppression of Conventual Order. It is already mentioned by that name even before 1280 by Fra Salimbene of Parma, one of the first chroniclers of our literature, that's where he spent a year of his monastic life. The convent, however, already existed in early 1250. The historical research is assumed that it was built immediately after the visit of St. Francis of Assisi at Imola and the monastery itself, which occurred in 1213 or so.

The cross of St. Francis

It is on this tour of San Francisco, popular tradition has woven many interesting anecdotes: the wooden cross that still stands up next to the Church at the end of the stairs, according to tradition was planted by St. Francis himself in 1223. The brothers then you would have built a solid masonry base was lost not because this relic so precious.
Two facts are still to show that Monte del Re, in his small, it is found to be in the history of the francescno. The first, when around 1630 the Father General of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual remained at Mount King for over 100 days and from there went the Order in all its provinces.
The second, when, in 1479 is that in 1709, the small monastery was chosen as the seat of Chapter Acts. Monte del Re was, therefore, the Franciscan monastery until the abolition of the estates built by Napoleon. Purchased, then the count Sassatelli, who made his "country house or holiday, after several changes of ownership, was permanently occupied by seminarians at Imola until 1969.
