Church Of The Visitation, Turin
The Church of the Visitation ( it, Chiesa della Visitazione) is a 17th-century Roman Catholic church, attached to a monastery, located on Via XX Settembre #23 in central Turin, region of Piedmont, Italy. Background By 1638, with the blessing of the Matilde of Savoy, the order of the nuns of the Visitation, founded by Jeanne-Françoise Frémiot de Chantal, were able to found a monastery at the site. Under Matilde's patronage, they were able to commission the church from the architect Francesco Lanfranchi. The chamfered corner location gives the tall Baroque-style domed church a scenographic quality. As typical of Piedmontese Baroque architecture, the dome is close to the entrance. The layout is that of a Greek cross, with an opening from the presbytery to a large chapel-like area, now the sanctuary of the Passion, where the nuns could attend services apart from the community. This area now holds the remains of the blessed Marco Antonio Durando. The interior was decorated wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Academic Staff Of Accademia Albertina
An academy (Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, ''Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulation, dev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was also marked by the collapse of the large ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
