San Gregorio Magno, Mogliano
San Gregorio Magno is a Roman Catholic church located in the town limits of Mogliano, province of Macerata, in the region of Marche, Italy. History Founded in the 10th century, it originally was a church that was ''extra moenia'', thus outside of the castle walls. Ultimately enclosed within the walls, the church was assigned to the Frati Minori Conventuali in the 13th century through the 15th century. The church has undergone numerous reconstructions: in 1399-1400, the church was rebuilt in Gothic style. But the major change started circa 1714 by Gianfilippo Carnili, when the orientation of the church was inverted from the Romanesque dogma of ''western façade and eastern apse'', in order to accommodate a scenographic entrance from the street. This construction was completed in 1748 and resulted in the present brick façade with pilasters and a rounded tympanum, an elegant white stone portal, and preceded by an elaborate two flight, staircase with white balustrades. The interior s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...

He also stood firm against nepotism, rebuking his predecessor Pope Pius IV to his face when he wanted to make a 13-year-old member of his family a cardinal and subsidize a nephew from the papal treasury.
