It is thought that he came from Armenia, or that he originally was a Camaldolese monk from Dalmatia.
He became a Benedictine monk at Santa Maria di Portonuovo,[3] a community at the foot of Monte Conero, south of Ancona on the Italian Adriatic coast. Due to earthquakes and landslides, the monastery was later abandoned.[4]
