He is said to have painted the main altarpiece of ''Christ in Glory with Saint Benedict and Scolatica'' (1608) for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Perugia. He painted canvases for the choir of San Ercolano : ''The testimony of San Ercolano'', his ''Martyrdom'', and the ''Transfer of his Relics''.

Matteo Sassano, called Matteuccio (1667 - 15 October 1737), was a famous Italian castrato, also called "the nightingale of Naples" ''(il rosignuolo di Napoli)'' because of his extremely beautiful soprano voice and virtuoso singing. Life Childhood and youth Born in San Severo, Sassano was the son of the widow Livia Tommasino and Giuseppe Sassano. Nothing is known about his early childhood. A barber from his hometown, who presumably performed the fateful orchiectomy procedure, had contacts in Naples with one Alessandro de Liguoro, a barber with a shop near the palazzo of the Apostolic Nuncio on Via Toledo; the latter picked up little Matteo, took him in, looked after him and subsequently became a confidant for the singer. Alessandro also ensured that the nine-year-old Matteo could enter the . There, for the next 10 years, he received perfect musical and vocal training under the direction of Giovanni Salvatore and Donato Oliva. After an initial period of training, Matteo was abl ...

Mannerism
Mannerism, which may also be known as Late Renaissance, is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century. Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Vasari, and early Michelangelo. Where High Renaissance art emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, Mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant.Gombrich 1995, .

Mannerism in literature and music is not ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Santa Maria Nuova, Perugia
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 childr ...
