聖羅穆亞(Saint Romualdus,西元951 年至1025),[1]或譯作聖羅慕爾德、聖羅慕鐸。在 11 世紀初創立了卡馬爾多利斯修道院,遵循本篤會傳統,恢復起初修道院隱士生活。[2]聖羅穆亞也是十一世紀「隱士禁慾主義」的重要人物。[3]他用了大約30 年的時間遊歷義大利,並建立和改造修道院隱居所

根據 Peter Damian在羅穆亞去世約十五年後[4]冩的《 vita》, [5], 羅穆亞出生在義大利東北部的拉文納,屬於貴族奧涅斯蒂(Onesti)家族。他的父親是Sergius degli Onesti,母親是Traversara Traversari。

根據早期的記載,年輕時的羅穆亞沉迷於第十世紀貴族普遍性的俗世快樂和罪惡。二十歲時,他擔任父親的副手,然而父親在財產決鬥中殺死了一位親戚,羅穆亞對自己目睹的罪行感到厭惡,於是前往聖阿波利納里斯修道院(Saint Pollinare)為他的父親進行四十天的懺悔。[6] 這 40 天的經歷使羅穆亞成為聖阿波利納里斯修道院的修道士,但嚴格的禁慾主義使他與其他一些修道士發生了衝突。於是羅穆亞離開拉文納前往威尼斯,在那裡成為隱士馬裡努斯的弟子。

拉文納的聖羅慕亞於 1027 年 6 月 19 日在修道院的牢房內去世。教皇貴格利十三世於 1582 年冊封他為聖人[2]
