Padre Filippini (Verona)
The church of Padri Filippini, also known as the Church of the Filippini, is a Neoclassical Catholic church in Verona, which like the older and neighboring church of San Fermo Maggiore is dedicated to the saints Fermo and Rustico. History Finding the older church of San Fermo ''Minore'' too narrow and cramped, the Oratorians in 1746 decided to replace it with this larger structure using plans by Andrea Camerata. The adjacent oratory was designed by Adriano Cristofali. Construction of the church was completed in 1791. The neoclassical church was decorated with works transferred from the San Fermo Minore, when that church was destroyed. The present Filippini church was heavily damaged during the Second World War, and subsequently rebuilt. The belltower c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neoclassical Architecture
Neoclassical architecture is an architectural style produced by the Neoclassical movement that began in the mid-18th century in Italy and France. It became one of the most prominent architectural styles in the Western world. The prevailing styles of architecture in most of Europe for the previous two centuries, Renaissance architecture and Baroque architecture, already represented partial revivals of the Classical architecture of ancient Rome and (much less) ancient Greek architecture, but the Neoclassical movement aimed to strip away the excesses of Late Baroque and return to a purer and more authentic classical style, adapted to modern purposes. The development of archaeology and published accurate records of surviving classical buildings was crucial in the emergence of Neoclassical architecture. In many countries, there was an initial wave essentially drawing on Roman architecture, followed, from about the start of the 19th century, by a second wave of Greek Revival architec ...

Congregation Of The Oratory
The Confederation of Oratories of Saint Philip Neri ( la, Confoederatio Oratorii Sancti Philippi Nerii) abbreviated CO and commonly known as the Oratorians is a Catholic society of apostolic life of Pontifical Right for men (priests and lay-brothers) who live together in a community bound together by no formal vows but only with the bond of charity. Founded in Rome in 1575 by Philip Neri, today it has spread around the world, with over 70 Oratories and some 500 priests. The post-nominal initials commonly used to identify members of the society are "CO" (''Congregatio Oratorii''). The abbreviation "Cong. Orat." is also used. Unlike a religious institute (the members of which take vows and are answerable to a central authority) or a monastery (the monks of which are likewise bound by vows in a community that may itself be autonomous and answerable directly to the Pope), the Oratorians are made up of members who commit themselves to membership in a particular, independent, se ...

Andrea Camerata
Andrea is a given name which is common worldwide for both males and females, cognate to Andreas, Andrej and Andrew.

Adriano Cristofali
Adriano Cristofali (25 March 1717, in Verona https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/adriano-cristofali_(Dizionario-Biografico)] Treccani.it – 1788) was a Veronese architect, whose style bridged between Age of Enlightenment, Enlightenment-Baroque architecture and Neoclassicism. Life The son of a gardener to Marchese Giambattista Spolverini, Cristofali studied under Count Alessandro Pompei, an architectural theorist and learned his trade in the humanistic atmosphere fostered by Marchese Scipione Maffei. Despite his humble parentage he worked as an architect, assessor, surveyor and hydraulic engineer and in training a whole generation of younger architects in his studio, including two of his sons and Luigi Trezza. His works in Verona include the Palazzo Sambonifacio Tedeschi (built 1750, now the Hotel Accademia), the Palazzo Balladoro (in front of palazzo Canossa) and the Palazzo Salvi (Headquarters of the Accademia di Agricoltura Scienze e Lettere), as well as the portico for the ...

Veronese Bellringing Art
Veronese bell ringing is a style of ringing church bells that developed around Verona, Italy from the eighteenth century. The bells are rung full circle (mouth uppermost to mouth uppermost), being held up by a rope and wheel until a note is required. History Early history In ''The History of Verona'' Ludovico Moscardo records that on the 21 November 622 the bell towers of the city rang to announce the death of Bishop Mauro. It is not known how many towers and bells, but clearly by that date Verona had a tradition of ringing. In the following century the bell "the storm" ("dei temporali") was cast. It is of octagonal shape and thought to be one of the oldest such castings in Europe. It is now preserved in the San Zeno Museum in Verona. The earliest technical information on the casting of Veronese bells is by the master Gislimerio in 1149. He described the casting of the bells for San Zeno Maggiore. Gislimerio was the first of fifty bell founders which worked in Verona ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
