Donato di Montevergine was a 13th-century abbot who led the Abbey of Montevergine in Irpinia from 1206 until his death in 1219. As a leader of the Vergine congregation, which was established by Saint William of Vercelli, he served as an effective Superior General. During his tenure, he expanded the monastic presence by founding the Roccella monastery near Collesano in Sicily. His leadership also earned him the respect of Emperor Frederick II, who granted various privileges and exemptions to the abbey.
