THE MONTE DEL MATRIMONIO

P

Pope Gregory XIII had great attention and openness towards the female figure, so much so that, during his reign and under his auspices, the Monte del Matrimonio was created; still active today in Via Altabella. The Monte del Matrimonio receives and administers the payments that benefactors, called Montisti, make in favor of young people from less well-off families.

Its main purpose was to provide a nuptial dowry but also to encourage young people to study, work and make a religious profession.
