Saint Clemente Abbey in Casauria
The Abbey was built in 871 as an ex-voto by Emperor Ludovico II, who was a prisoner of the Longobard Prince Adelchi in Benevento but he was afterwards released by intercession of Bishop Aione. At first devoted to the Holy Trinity, it changed its name when it got St Clemente's bones, whose mortal remains had been carried to Rome in 868.
The Abbey got its maximum splendour thanks to Leonate, who was ordained Abbot in 1156; he started changing it but his death in 1182 interrupted his work. Throughout the following centuries the Abbey started to decay.
Plundered by the French troops in 1799, the Abbey was given to the town of Castiglione a Casauria in 1868.
