Well, I know the guy in the upper left in this photo! He is Fr. Andrew and he used to be at St. Benedict Abbey in Still River, MA. He happens to think that Dominicans are great!

Well, I'm happy to hear that he thinks that Dominicans are great, since I want to be one!
Its great to see a Benedictine foundation in Norcia
I think it's actually a re-establishment of Benedict's original monastery, not a new foundation 
It's new for this century, but I met a woman who works there and she said it was a renewal of the original location.

Thats cool, I mean honestly Benedictines are kinda the main place in TCM movies lol. On one exception
What I gleaned from the website is that this foundation moved into old buildings that were previously owned by a different order. I don't think St. Benedict founded a monastery in his home town; after living in the Sacro Speco in Subiaco and establishing twelve small monasteries there, he moved to Monte Cassino.
However, it's super to see a Benedictine foundation in Norcia.
