History
1958: the foundation of Azul was begun in 1958. The definitory having given its permission to accept a piece of property in good condition, a group of pioneers was sent there and the community began receiving novices toward the end of the year.
1972: the general council recommends that the abbot of Frattocchie delegate his powers of father immediate of Hinojo to the prior of Azul, so that he will be able to assume the paternity of Hinojo when it is raised to the status of an independent house.
