San Lodovico, Orvieto

San Lodovico is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church and former monastery located on 5 Piazza de' Ranieri in Orvieto, Umbria, central Italy.

The monastery (Istituto San Lodovico) is occupied by Sisters of the Company of Maria Nostra Signora, a religious order which runs a nursery school and hostel lodgings.

A church and monastery were documented at the site since 1350, they seem to have been associated with the Franciscans and perhaps founded by order of St Louis of Toulouse, and housing nuns of the order of Poor Clares from the local monasteries of San Lorenzo delle Vigne and Santa Chiara, who took refuge here during the wars that besieged Orvieto in the late 14th century.

In 1436, Bishop Francesco Monaldeschi moved them permanently to San Lodovico and Santa Chiara.

The Clarissan monastery was suppressed by the Napoleonic occupation and in 1834, it was restored to the nuns of the Company of Mary Our Lady (founded by St Jeanne de Lestonnac in 1607).
