Camaldoli, founded a thousand years ago by St. Romuald, is a community of Benedictine monks. Its two houses, the sacred Hermitage and the Monastery, immersed in the peace of the forest, represent two fundamental dimensions of the monastic experience, solitude and communion. The monastic community lives in the search for God, in prayer and work, and is open to sharing with the men and women of our time, especially through hospitality. The Foresteria offers a space open to all, for spiritual and cultural deepening, dialogue and encounter. The Monastery (or Cenobio) is the place where the monks, while also living in solitude, experience fraternal life and communion. This dimension of existence is not lived only among the members of the Community, but is also expressed in the welcome of guests: in the spaces of the Monastery and in those of the Guesthouse. In fact, since its origins, the Monastery of Camaldoli has been a place open to welcoming guests and pilgrims. In the last century, in particular from the Second Vatican Council onwards, the space for the reception of guests (Foresteria) was renovated and proposals for cultural and spiritual formation have arisen over time, which constitute one of the main commitments of the monks of the Community who live at the Monastery. A fundamental feature of the reception in the Foresteria is the promotion of dialogue at a religious, spiritual and cultural level. Throughout the year, especially in the summer, the community offers initiatives (weeks or weekends) of biblical, liturgical and theological formation, ecumenical and interreligious dialogue, spirituality (spiritual exercises and retreats), and confrontation with contemporary culture. Some proposals are particularly aimed at young people. In addition to participation in conferences and spirituality proposals, it is also possible to access, subject to the availability of places, free hospitality: for moments of retreat (personal or group) and rest, sharing the liturgical prayer of the Community.
