the Holy Roman emperor Otto III founded a monastery at Pereum, near Ravenna, for Romuald and St. Bruno of Querfurt. The monastery served as a mission for the Slavs and Prussians. The most significant monastery founded by Romuald was Camaldoli (c. 1012), near Arezzo in Tuscany. It became the motherhouse of the new order, which combined cenobitic and eremitical elements with strict silence. By adding a note of severity to the Benedictine rule and by choosing the life of a hermit, Romuald initiated and helped to mold a movement that was to give birth to the Carthusians and the early Cistercians.
