It has grown up around the Abbey of Santa Maria di Grottaferrata, founded in 1004. Nearby communes include Frascati, Rocca di Papa, Marino and Rome. History The history of Grottaferrata identifies largely with that of the Basilian Monastery of Santa Maria, founded here in 1004 by Saint Nilus the Younger. The founding legend narrates that, at the spot where the abbey now stands, the Virgin Mary appeared and bade him found a church in her honour. From Gregory, the powerful Count of Tusculum, father of Popes Benedict VIII and John XIX, Nilus obtained the site, which had been a Roman villa, where among the ruins there remained a low edifice of '' opus quadratum'' that had been a tomb but had been converted to a Christian oratory in the fourth century. Its iron window grates gave the site the name, first of ''Cryptaferrata'' ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
