Camaldoli

Camaldoli (Italian pronunciation:) is a frazione of the comune of Poppi, in Tuscany, Italy. It is mostly known as the ancestral seat of the Camaldolese monastic order, originated in the eponymous hermitage, which can still be visited. The name was derived from Tedald's diploma of 1027 where he writes that the church is located "in loco qui dicitur Campo Malduli" - 'in a place which is named Maldolo's field'.
