In AD 1319, the Benedictines wrote to Bishop Nicolò degli Ungari imploring to evacuate the abby because ..Terrae motum quasi quotidie et ultra solitum donantur
On January 17, 1320, the abbey of Portonovo was abandoned definitively, and the monks transferred to the convent of Saint Martin in Ancona.
