The Clarisas stood out from other convents for one of the most important historical events of the time.
In 1682, they asked the bishop of the time for their economic and spiritual independence from the Franciscans, alleging ill treatment and inefficiency. The nuns were subjected to siege and were not allowed to pass provisions. They lived on the help of neighbors.
This originated the Cessatio to Divinis where the Bishop, in order to calm, forbade all celebration of the religious services in the city. The dilemma was solved only at the beginning of the 18th century and with the intervention of the Holy See.
