Unknown Abbot or Bishop Saint
Clinius, a Greek Monk, became the Abbot of the Basilian Monastery of San Pietro della Foresta, located between Pontecorvo and Rocca Guillermo (now Esperia), in the early decades of the 11th Century.
His presence is attested in a signed Deed of Donation in 1030. In the second half of the Century, the Monastery came under the jurisdiction of Monte Cassinok.
At San Pietro della Foresta, St Clinoius, a man of great sanctity and miracles, died before 1050. His remains were transferred to the Church of Santa Maria di Rocca Guillermo (Esperia), where his memory is celebrated as the principal Patron Saint of that City.
The figure of Saint Clinius, shrouded in uncertainty due to the lack of contemporary sources, emerges as an example of a pious Abbot and miracle-worker, highly venerated in the community of Esperia which preserves his memory and cult.
