La Regola di San Benedetto, here presented in Italian, is a foundational text of Western monasticism. Written by Saint Benedict of Nursia in the 6th century, it outlines a comprehensive set of guidelines for communal living in a monastic setting. This edition, edited by Francesco Leopoldo Zelli-Jacobuzi and dating back to 1902, offers readers a chance to engage with the enduring wisdom and practical guidance of the Benedictine tradition. The Rule covers aspects of monastic life ranging from prayer and liturgical practice to labor, obedience, and the reception of guests. Its emphasis on balance, humility, and community has made it a source of inspiration for countless individuals seeking a deeper spiritual path. La Regola remains a vital resource for understanding the historical development of monasticism and its continuing relevance in contemporary society.
