This thesis explores the history and spiritual evolution of the Benedictine monastery of Viboldone (Milan). It analyzes the community's radical choices, the figure of its founder, Margherita Marchi (1901-1956), the paradigm of separation, and the adoption of an autonomous female spirituality rooted in liturgy, symbolism, and marginality. The thesis highlights the monastery's contribution to post-conciliar reform and to the formation of nuns, highlighting how the community embodied a form of contemplative life that was open, active, and deeply rooted in contemporary ecclesial and social reality. Through the testimony of Mother Ignazia Angelini, it offers a glimpse into the monastery's foundation and its distinctive features, as well as the potential implications of female monasticism in the contemporary context.
Questa tesi esplora la storia e l'evoluzione spirituale del monastero benedettino di Viboldone (MI). Si analizzano le scelte radicali della comunità, la figura della fondatrice Margherita Marchi (1901-1956), il paradigma della separazione e l'adozione di una spiritualità femminile autonoma, radicata nella liturgia, nel simbolismo e nella marginalità. La tesi mette in luce il contributo del monastero alla riforma post-conciliare, alla formazione delle monache evidenziando come la comunità abbia saputo incarnare una forma di vita contemplativa aperta, attiva e profondamente radicata nella realtà ecclesiale e sociale contemporanea. Attraverso la testimonianza di Madre Ignazia Angelini si offre uno sguardo sulla fondazione del monastero e le sue peculiarità e le possibili ricadute del monachesimo femminile nel contesto contemporaneo.
