Benedict of Nursia (around 480-547) was a recluse, abbot and founder of the order. He lived in the period of transition from late antiquity to the early Middle Ages. Around the year 529 he founded the abbey of Montecassino near Naples in a temple of Apollo, which is still considered the ancestral monastery of the Benedictine order today.
