History
The Monte was established in 1492, following the preaching of Blessed Bernardine of Feltre in the city. However, the institute was opened only two years later, when the statutes were approved in Venice. In 1822, the Monte was reorganized by the Austrian government. By Ministerial Decree of May 28th, 1957, the institute was closed and went into liquidation.
