In 981 the invading Saracens drove the monks to Vellelucio, where they lived on land given to them by the monastery of Monte Cassino. Shortly before his repose, Nilus designated that as the place where his monastery was to be definitively established. This monastery, of Grottaferrata, was for long faithful to Ortodoks."
