Bruno of Segni, O.S.B., (c. 1047 – July 18, 1123) was a Catholic prelate, who Bishop of Segni and Abbot of Montecassino. He is now honored as an Italian Catholic saint.
Bruno was closely connected with Pope Urban II, whom he accompanied to the Council of Clermont in 1095. In 1099, he entered the Abbey of Monte Cassino without resigning his see or severing his relations with the outside world. He undertook a mission to France for Pope Paschal II in 1106, remaining with the pope for several months after his return before returning to his cloister, where he was elected abbot in 1107. Paschal made no objection to this pluralism until Bruno condemned Paschal's signing of the Concordat of Segni in 1111, was forced to resign his abbacy and return to Segni.
According to ancient Roman sources, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, the seventh king of Rome, established a Roman colony at the town, then known as Signia. Additional colonists were reportedly sent there in 495 BC.
The ancient architectural remains at the site date mostly from the Republican period. These include a circuit of fortification walls built using polygonal masonry. The walls incorporated a system of gates, including the Porta Saracena which is covered by a large monolithic architrave. Atop the ancient acropolis of Segni sits the podium of the temple of Juno Moneta, which now supports a Medieval church of Saint Peter (tenth century).
Later history
On several occasions Segni served as a place of refuge for popes, and the mid-twelfth century Eugene III erected a palace there. In the twelfth century it came into possession of the Counts of Marsi, hereditary enemies of the Orsini. The family called de' Conti produced several popes (Innocent III, Gregory IX and Alexander IV) and many cardinals. In 1558 Segni was sacked by the forces of the Duke of Alba in the war against Pope Paul IV; immense booty was captured, as the inhabitants of the other towns of the Campagna had fled thither. Politician Giulio Andreotti was born in Segni in 1919.
The Segni (sometimes Segui) were a tribe living in BelgicGaul when Julius Caesar's Roman forces entered the area in 57BCE. They are known from his account of the Gallic War. They were one of a group of tribes listed by his local informants as the Germani of Belgian Gaul, along with the Eburones, Condrusi, Paemani (or Caemani), and Caeroesi (or Caeraesi). The Segni do not appear in the first listing of the Germani, which was a listing of Germani sending men to fight Caesar. But they appear in a later mention, after the defeat of the Eburones:
These tribes are referred to as the "Germani Cisrhenani", to distinguish them from Germani living on the east of the Rhine, outside of the Gaulish and Roman area. Whether they actually spoke a Germanic language or not, is still uncertain. The region was strongly influenced by Gaul, and many of the personal names and tribal names from these communities appear to be Celtic. But on the other hand it was claimed by Tacitus that these Germani were the original Germani, and that the term Germani as it came to be widely used was not the original meaning. He also said that the descendants of the original Germani in his time were the Tungri.
Bruno was known for his piety, his deep understanding of scripture, and defense of Transubstantiation during the 6th Roman synod.

Saint Bruno of Segni.
Born in Solero, Piedmont around 1048, Saint Bruno of Segni emerged as a remarkable figure in Italy, both for his intellectual prowess and for his eminent spirituality. Serving in multiple prestigious roles such as Benedictine bishop, Vatican librarian, and cardinal legate, Bruno’s legacy spans over a lifetime dedicated to the Church, before he passed away in 1123.
Bruno’s education began in his hometown’s Benedictine monastery and furthered in Bologna, post which he was ordained and became a canon of Sienna. His profound learning and exceptional piety didn’t go unnoticed; he was summoned to Rome where his prudent counsel was greatly sought after by four consecutive popes.
During a Roman synod in 1079, Bruno’s theological acumen was evident as he compelled Berengarius of Tours, a denier of the real presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist, to retract his heresy. He also held a close friendship with Gregory VII, who consecrated him as the Bishop of Segni in 1080. Despite being offered the cardinalate, Bruno’s humility led him to decline. Known as “the brilliant defender of the church,” Bruno showcased an invincible courage in championing ecclesiastical reform and staunchly denouncing lay investiture, even labelling it heretical.
In 1095, Bruno accompanied Pope Urban II to the Council of Clermont, which marked the initiation of the First Crusade. Seven years later, he embraced monastic life at Monte Casino, where he was elected abbot in 1107 without giving up his episcopal duties. He stood with many bishops from Italy and France in opposition to the “Privilegium,” a treaty that Henry V of Germany had coerced from Pope Paschal II. Bruno openly criticized the pope for this agreement that partly conceded the unacceptable claim of investiture of ring and crosier upon bishops and abbots to the German king. In response to his vocal opposition, Paschal II ordered Bruno to relinquish his abbey and resume his episcopal duties.
Nonetheless, Bruno remained unyielding in his dedication to his flock’s welfare and the larger interests of the Church until his death. Pope Lucius III canonized him in 1183, and his feast is celebrated on July 18th. Bruno left behind a rich literary legacy, primarily comprising scriptural works, which include commentaries on the Pentateuch, the Book of Job, the Psalms, the four Gospels, and the Apocalypse.
