The Abbey of Santa Maria della Ferraria was a Cistercian monastery located in Vairano Patenora, Province of Caserta, Italy. [1]
History
It was founded in 1179 by the mother abbey of Fossanova in Lazio, of the line of Abbey of Clairvaux.
The church was consecrated on October 24, 1179 and the abbey was ruled by Cistercians until the suppression of religious orders in the Kingdom of Naples by Joseph Bonaparte in 1807.
As daughter abbeys, it had Santa Maria dell'Arco (Sicily), Santo Spirito della Valle (Apulia), Santa Maria Incoronata (Apulia) and Santi Vito e Salvo (Abruzzo).
Around 1228, the Chronica Romanorum pontificum et imperatorum ac de rebus in Apulia gestis was composed at the abbey. It is an important source on the abbey's early history.
