The history of the de Iumento Albo can be reconstructed thanks to the parchment foundation that concerns it; preserved at the Abbey of Montecassino, the contents were published at the beginning of the 20th century. From the documents we learn that in 1002 the comes Berardo and his wife decided to donate a church dedicated to San Benedetto to Abbot Pietro «sita intra fines Banioli (Bagnoli del Trigno) in loco qui vocatur Molendini Vetulus».

The church was therefore already existing in that year and the novelty was that the two aristocrats, involving Abbot Pietro, had decided to annex a monastery, a frequent custom among the Italian aristocracies of the time.

In 1020 Abbot Pietro, together with another character named Paolo, decided to cede the monastery to Abbot Atenulf of Montecassino. The donation is part of the alliance between the Borrellis and the Lazio monastery which, in that territorial area, already held other monasteries, such as that of S. Colomba in Frosolone and the more distant ones of S. Pietro del Tasso in Carovilli and of S. Eustasio in Pietabbondante.

The monastery was still under the control of Montecassino in 1057; it is also mentioned in the panels of the Cassino bronze doors installed with various interventions between the end of the 11th century and the beginning of the 12th and reappears in 1137 in a diploma, also confirming the assets of the Lazio abbey, issued by the Emperor Lothair III.
