The elective chapter of the Monte Carmelo Monastery in Vetralla, Italy, took place on October 15, 2022.
The monastery was founded in 1669 by Servant of God Benedetto Baldi with Carmelite nuns from Rome, commonly called Le Barberine. The original monastery was located in a medieval castle, but this was completely destroyed during World War II. Mother Maria Angelica di Gesù secured a new location with the help of Cardinal Domenico Tardini, Vatican secretary of state under Pope John XXIII. The present monastery is the modified villa of the sculptor Canonica.
The community often benefited from the spiritual assistance of St. Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists. Pope John XXIII visited the tomb of Cardinal Tardini in the monastery chapel on the first anniversary of the cardinal's death.
The monastery of St. Joseph of San Giovanni la Punta is a daughter foundation of the Monastery of Mount Carmel in Vetralla.
