A <i>ritiro </i>was a "retreat house", an original feature of the Franciscan movement; it was a place of penitential solitude, where friars could withdraw from secular society for a time or permanently.

Blessed Bonaventure died here in 1684, and the project was finally finished in 1689.
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">The friary became the mother house of a small Italian Franciscan reform movement of its own, called the <i>Riformella </i>or "Little Reform".
</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">Beware of the year 1625, quoted in several sources as that of the foundation of the friary. The mistake derives from the book on Roman churches published in 1891 by Armellini. The years quoted above are from Walter Buchowiecski's <i>Handbuch der Kirchen Roms </i>1997.

</p><p data-rte-fromparser="true" data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">In 1873, the friary was sequestered by the Italian government, together with almost all the other convents in Rome. The motivation was to provide accommodation for civil servants, members of the armed forces and other government employees in the new capital of Italy, but it is clear that the government did not really know what to do with this property. The friars were allowed to rent the church and a few ancillary rooms, but the rest of the friary was used as dormitory accommodation for immigrant workers on the major engineering projects in the city such as the Tiber embankments. This cannot have been very welcome to them, because the friary was known for having some of the poorest accommodation of any of Rome's convents (as appropriate to an order vowed to corporate poverty).

These were the Observants, Alcantarines, Reformed and Recollects and the resultant new consolidated order was simply named as the "Order of Friars Minor". (The Franciscan Conventuals and Capuchins were not involved.) As a result the friary here passed to the Friars Minor, in whose charge it remains.
