| Summary: | A well-established historiographical tradition has presented great Benedictine abbeys and monasteries as institutions in charge of the bonification of territories and as protagonists of rural settlements. By virtue of their religious formation and discipline, the monks of the West, carriers of Christianity in ancient pagan territories, have been considered pioneers of colonization, as well as architects of the early medieval landscape. Beginning with some passages from the Vita and Regula Benedicti, the essay examines some aspects of the original relationship established by monasticism with the country space, starting from Italy during the era of the Gothic war and peaking with Carolingian Europe. The aim of the work is to emphasize that the close connections between Benedictine monasticism and the ecosystem was largely determined by liturgical and normative basis and did not depend only from historical-politicalcircumstances or social, economic and cultural conditioning. |
