Monastery Of San Giuseppe, Mogliano
The Monastery of San Giuseppe is a Roman Catholic cloistered female convent located in Via Regina Margherita #8 at the town limits of Mogliano, province of Macerata, in the region of Marche, Italy. History The monastery was built in 1630 by the Benedictines of Monte Cassino, and they remained here for nearly two centuries. In 1855, the convent was assigned to the sisters of the order of San Giuseppe di Torino (''Suore di San Giuseppe di Torino''), a small religious order who still occupy the facility in 2016. The convent, refurbished in 1777, is partially cloistered and thus the paintings found on the doors of the nun's rooms with saints above and landscapes below are not generally open to the public. The adjacent church of Santi Crisogono e Benedetto was decorated in a late-Baroque style. The wood ceiling has framed squares (cassetoni) with carved decoration. The main altar is elegantly built with colored marble and gilded wood frames and statuary. The church of San Crisogono onc ...

Marche
Marche ( , ) is one of the twenty regions of Italy. In English, the region is sometimes referred to as The Marches ( ). The region is located in the central area of the country, bordered by Emilia-Romagna and the republic of San Marino to the north, Tuscany to the west, Umbria to the southwest, Abruzzo and Lazio to the south and the Adriatic Sea to the east. Except for river valleys and the often very narrow coastal strip, the land is hilly. A railway from Bologna to Brindisi, built in the 19th century, runs along the coast of the entire territory. Inland, the mountainous nature of the region, even today, allows relatively little travel north and south, except by twisting roads over the passes. Urbino, one of the major cities of the region, was the birthplace of Raphael, as well as a major centre of Renaissance history. Toponymy The name of the region derives from the plural of the medieval word '' marca'', meaning "march" or "mark" in the sense of border zone, originall ...

Baroque
The Baroque (, ; ) is a style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished in Europe from the early 17th century until the 1750s. In the territories of the Spanish and Portuguese empires including the Iberian Peninsula it continued, together with new styles, until the first decade of the 19th century. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep colour, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to France, northern Italy, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, and Russia. B ...

Saint Chrysogonus
Saint Chrysogonus ( it, San Crisogono) is a saint and martyr of ancient Rome venerated by the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Life Chrysogonus was martyred at Aquileia, probably during the Diocletianic Persecution (303–311 Common Era, CE), was buried there, and publicly venerated by the faithful of that region. He is the patron saint of Zadar. His name is found in the ''Martyrologium Hieronymianum'' on two different days, 31 May and 24 November, with the topographical note "in Aquileia". The name derives from the Ancient Greek “Chrysógonos (Χρυσόγονος)”, composed of the elements: the “khrūsós (χρῡσός)” (golden, gold, something dear or precious) plus “génnēsis (γέννησις)” (birth). Thus the meaning of Chrysogonus is a dear or precious birth. Very early indeed the veneration of this martyr of Aquileia was transferred to Rome, where in Trastevere a San Crisogono, titular church bears his name. This church ("Titulus Chrysogon ...

Giovanni Bellini
Giovanni Bellini (; c. 1430 – 26 November 1516) was an Italian Renaissance painter, probably the best known of the Bellini family of Venetian painters. He was raised in the household of Jacopo Bellini, formerly thought to have been his father, but now that familial generational relationship is questioned.; “Giovanni Bellini: Birth, Parentage, and Independence" in ''Renaissance Quarterly'' An older brother, Gentile Bellini was more highly regarded than Giovanni during his lifetime, but the reverse is true today. His brother-in-law was Andrea Mantegna. Giovanni Bellini was considered to have revolutionized Venetian painting, moving it toward a more sensuous and colouristic style. Through the use of clear, slow-drying oil paints, Giovanni created deep, rich tints and detailed shadings. His sumptuous coloring and fluent, atmospheric landscapes had a great effect on the Venetian painting school, especially on his pupils Giorgione and Titian. Life Early career Giovanni Bell ...
