  • Basilica imperiale di Santa Croce al Chienti

    History of the Basilica Towards the end of the ninth century, where the Ete Morto river flows into the Chienti (a territory which today coincides with the countryside of Casette d'Ete, in Sant'Elpidio a Mare), a small Benedictine monastery was born, perhaps on the remains of a pre-existing 5th century Christian basilica. The place is so strategic that the bishop of Fermo, Theodosius, and the emperor Charles III the Big (grandson of Charlemagne) will transform the Abbey of Santa Croce into one of the first and most powerful abbeys in the Marche region. The consecration took place on September 14, 887. The Abbey would be the spearhead of a defense system aimed at blocking the Saracens along the Chienti valley and would be a reference for emperors who supported it with donations and protections. From the ninth to the thirteenth century, it was an economic, social, cultural power. After the "struggles for the investiture", with the papal power prevailing over the imperial one, for Santa Croce it is the beginning of an irreversible crisis and decadence. In 1291, he lost his autonomy: the last abbot, Philip, excommunicated for not having subjected himself to the Cistercians, had to abandon the monastery. The properties of Santa Croce will pass to the Cistercians of Fiastra, then to the bishop of Fermo. In 1749, bishop Alessandro Borgia was responsible for a restoration work, while the bishop, Andrea Minnucci, in 1790 transformed the abbey complex into an agricultural farmhouse, heavily tampering with the structure. The birth of the Abbey is linked to the legend of the romantic and tragic love story of Lothair and Imelda.
