Life
Peter Vincioli (Pietro Vincioli) was a Benedictine abbot at Perugia in Italy, born at Agello in Umbria in the 10th century and died at Perugia in 1022. He founded the Benedictine monastery of San Pietro in Perugia. He is honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and remembered on 10 July.
According to an old and settled tradition, he descended from the old line of the nobles of Agello, today in the municipality of Magione, a line from which the Vincioli house of Perugia claims its origin. He rebuilt the church of the holy Apostle Peter at Perugia and became abbot of the monastery he founded nearby. Facing many oppositions, he had it follow the rules of reform of Cluny. The place where the monastery stands was formerly called Monte Calvario or Caprario; there was a very old church there.
He is a local saint of the West, who died before 1054; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
