The abbey, also known as Fonte Benedetta, was the first Benedictine monastery in the Casentino, founded between 983 and 996 by two German hermits, Pietro and Eriprando, probably on a transit road of Roman origin that connected the Valdarno to the Casentino. The monastery already had a great development in the 11th century and then in the following century, which lasted until the end of the 14th century, which led it to increase its material heritage and to have jurisdiction over many churches and castles in the Casentino and especially in the Valdarno. In 1193 the presence of a hospital owned by the abbey in Pratovalle is attested.[1] In the 15th century the monastery entered a phase of decline and already in 1425 it was entrusted to the Vallombrosan monks who, however, were unable to arrest its decline and gradual abandonment. At the end of the 17th century the Abbey was already compromised in several parts. Now abandoned, in the Napoleonic period the Abbey passed to the Corsican Marquises of Florence and from 1811 to the Cassi di Capraia who did not take care of the maintenance of the buildings, so that at the beginning of the twentieth century the Abbey was now a ruin. In 1968, a restoration of what remained was undertaken, concluded in 1974, which restored legibility to the architectural remains and allowed the area to be used.
