Title A name given to the resource San Biagio to San Francesco a Ripa: Benedictine Rule to Franciscan Control Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Shaylin Nguyen (2016) Description An account of the resource Much of the land contained within the Roman city walls remained uninhabited with little activity beyond farming for hundreds of years. Because of the dense concentration of people near the Tiber during the Middle Ages, new religious centers were built in the uninhabited farmland where there was available space. It is said that Giacoma Frangipane de’ Settesoli, later known as simply Brother Jacopa, met St. Francis in Rome and helped him find shelter. Brother Jacopa was a widow who became close friends with St. Francis, who was the one to call her “Brother." The place Jacopa found St Francis a place to say is believed to be San Biagio Hospice. The San Biagio Hospice was built near the edge of the Roman city wall and it was a part of the San Cosimato Monastery complex during the Benedictine rule (the two are separated by only 250 meters). It is said that Jacopa helped the Franciscans gain control of San Biagio from the Benedictines and thus converting it to a Franciscan complex. In the same location as San Biagio, the Chiesa di San Francesco a Ripa was consecrated in 1601 and is still actively used as a Franciscan church. The statue of the Blessed Ludovica Albertoni (1473-1533) by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) resides in a left side chapel. Abstract A summary of the resource. Because of the dense concentration of people near the Tiber during the Middle Ages, new religious centers were built in the uninhabited farmland where there was available space. The San Biagio Hospice was built near the edge of the Roman city wall: it was the first place that St. Francis lodged when he visited Rome. The hospice was replaced by the church of San Francesco a Ripa in 1601 and is still actively used as a Franciscan church.
