After Dominic came to Rome in 1216, he lobbied the pope to give him control of the new covent, as he shared the popes’ the “problem” of mendicant women, many of whom may have been influenced by the Cathars and their institution of perfectae, a role that allowed women to be religiously active. To counter this phenomenon in Rome, Dominic used the force of his personality to convince the nuns of Rome, starting with the community of Santa Maria Templa, to join San Sisto. Once they did, he made sure that they could not leave, taking the keys to the abbey with him and eventually giving it to the 16 Dominican friars assigned to oversee the abbey. He also brought nuns from Southern France to the abbey to implement a rule similar to the cistercians. After Dominic’s death, the convent survived its fairly constant financial problems by playing a part in Rome’s politics of family patronage. Many noble families would send gifts of either art or nuns. In 1331, the abbey included nuns from the Colonna, Pierleoni, De Giudice, and Anibaldi families. The Boccamazzo family, a line stemming from the Saveli, also played a major role in financing and growing the convent and supplying nuns.
