===European contraction=== The disturbances which arose during the [[Protestant Reformation]] caused the loss of many Servite houses in Germany, but in the south of France the order met with much success. The Convent of [[San Marcello al Corso]] was founded in the city of Rome in 1369 and a second house, [[Santa Maria in Via]], was established there in 1513.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.diocesidiroma.it/phpenti/ente/?ID=9 | title=Ente | DIOCESI DI ROMA }}</ref> Beginning in the early part of the eighteenth century the order sustained a series of losses and confiscations from which it has yet to recover. A first blow fell upon the flourishing [[Province of Narbonne]], which was almost totally destroyed by the [[Great Plague of Marseille|plague]] which swept [[Marseille]] in 1720. Thanks to secularizing inroads made by the [[Age of Enlightenment|Enlightenment]], in 1783 the Servites were expelled from [[Prague]] and in 1785 the Emperor [[Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor|Joseph II]] desecrated the shrine of [[Matrei am Brenner#Sights|Maria Waldrast]]. The French Revolution and ensuing hostilities throughout western Europe caused widespread losses. Ten houses were suppressed in Spain in 1835. After the seizure of Rome under the Italian [[Italian unification|Risorgimento]] in 1870, the government of Italy closed the Servite house of studies in the city, along with many other papal institutions. The institute was re-founded as the College of Sant Alessio Falcioneri in 1895.<ref>Annuario Pontificio 2012, p.1906</ref>
