Francesco Peparelli
Francesco Peparelli (died 6 November 1641, Rome) was an Italian architect during the 17th century. According to a contemporary historian, Giovanni Baglione, between palaces, castles, churches and convents, Peparelli participated in about seventy construction projects but only about thirty can be attributed to him with certainty. Life In 1601 he was apprenticed to the architect Ottaviano Nonni and with him, contributed to the design of Santa Maria in Traspontina. He was skilled in engineering, cartography and hydraulics; and he was often commissioned with the construction of buildings designed by other architects. Peparelli often worked in various capacities with Girolamo Rainaldi, such as the Chiesa di S. Teresa in Caprarola. He also collaborated with Carlo Maderno in remodelling of existing structures, such as Santa Maria Maddalena. In 1620 he oversaw the renovation of the Palazzetto Mattei in the Villa Celimontana. Around 1630 Pope Urban VIII decided to rebuild the church of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Giovanni Baglione
Giovanni Baglione (1566 – 30 December 1643) was an Italian Late Mannerist and Early Baroque painter and art historian. He is best remembered for his acrimonious and damaging involvement with the slightly younger artist Caravaggio and his important collection of biographies of the other artists working in Rome in his lifetime, although there are many works of his in Roman churches and galleries and elsewhere. Life He was born and died in Rome, but from his own account came from a noble family of Perugia. A pupil of the obscure Florentine artist working in Rome, Francesco Morelli (not to be confused with the later French-Italian engraver Francesco Morelli), he worked mainly in Rome, initially with a late-Mannerist style influenced by Giuseppe Cesari (or the "Cavaliere d'Arpino"). After an ''intermezzo Caravaggesco'' when he was heavily influenced by the young Caravaggio in the early years of the new century, and a Bolognese-influenced phase in the 1610s, Baglione's final ...

Giovan Antonio De' Rossi
Giovanni Antonio de' Rossi (1616–1695) was an Italian architect of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome. Life He was a contemporary of Carlo Rainaldi. In 1657, he completed the sacristy of Tivoli Cathedral. That same year, he designed the renovations to Chiesa di San Rocco all'Augusteo, adding a dome, the sacristy and a new chapel. He created the shrine over the high altar, designed by Rainaldi, in Santa Maria in Campitelli to house the icon of Santa Maria in Portico. At about the time he became the architect of the Monte di Pietà in Rome until his death and built its oval chapel from the 1650s onwards. For Pope Clement X he carried out an extensive and hurried refurbishment (1670–76) of the family's Palazzo Altieri near the Church of Il Gesù . He erected the church of Santa Maria in Campo Marzio in 1682-1685 and was involved in the design of the ''Cappella Lancellotti'' in St John Lateran.

San Salvatore In Campo
San Salvatore in Campo is a Roman Catholic church located on the small piazza of the same name, not far from the church of Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini, in the Rione (district) of Regola of central Rome, Italy. History A parish church of this name had existed since the first half of the 10th century, in the region now occupied by Palazzo Monte di Pietà. It is not clear why the church has the suffix ''in Campo'', one hypothesis was said to derive from the patronage of an Abbot Campo, who was then leading the powerful Benedictine Farfa Abbey. Alternatively, it may be that the church stood before a ''campi'', a name used for large plazas. In the 16th century, the church was attached to the Confraternity of the Trinità dei Pellegrini, founded by the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri. In the 17th century, this ancient church was razed. In 1639, Pope Urban VIII built a new parish church, with the same title. The architect was Francesco Peparelli. The church now is sponsored by the ...

Santa Maria Delle Vergini
Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Kris Kringle, or simply Santa, is a legendary figure originating in Western Christian culture who is said to bring children gifts during the late evening and overnight hours on Christmas Eve of toys and candy or coal or nothing, depending on whether they are "naughty or nice". In the legend, he accomplishes this with the aid of Christmas elves, who make the toys in his workshop, often said to be at the North Pole, and flying reindeer who pull his sleigh through the air. The modern figure of Santa is based on folklore traditions surrounding Saint Nicholas, the English figure of Father Christmas and the Dutch figure of '' Sinterklaas''. Santa is generally depicted as a portly, jolly, white- bearded man, often with spectacles, wearing a red coat with white fur collar and cuffs, white-fur-cuffed red trousers, red hat with white fur, and black leather belt and boots, carrying a bag full of gifts for ...
