San Fortunato, Todi
San Fortunato is a Gothic architecture, Gothic- and Renaissance architecture, Renaissance-style, Roman Catholic church located on Piazza Umberto I #6 in the historic center of Todi, province of Perugia, region of Umbria, Italy. History The church was built likely at the site of an ancient Roman hill-top temple. It later hosted a shrine to the early Christian martyr San Cassiano; however, the possession of the relics of Saint Fortunatus of Todi (6th century bishop) provided the church with a saint of more later origin. A Benedictine order, Benedictine monastery became attached to the church by the 1100s, and the church was expanded, creating altars dedicated to the Saints Fortunato, Cassiano, and John the Baptist, consecrated by Pope Innocent III in 1198. The church was acquired by the Franciscan order by 1292, and led to the construction of the present church building. Only the lower portion of the facade was faced in polished stone; the rest remains in bare brick. The facade was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Belltower
A bell tower is a tower that contains one or more bells, or that is designed to hold bells even if it has none. Such a tower commonly serves as part of a Christian church, and will contain church bells, but there are also many secular bell towers, often part of a municipal building, an educational establishment, or a tower built specifically to house a carillon. Church bell towers often incorporate clocks, and secular towers usually do, as a public service. The term campanile (, also , ), deriving from the Italian ''campanile'', which in turn derives from ''campana'', meaning "bell", is synonymous with ''bell tower''; though in English usage campanile tends to be used to refer to a free standing bell tower. A bell tower may also in some traditions be called a belfry, though this term may also refer specifically to the substructure that houses the bells and the ringers rather than the complete tower. The tallest free-standing bell tower in the world, high, is the Mortegliano Be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is perched on a tall two-crested hill overlooking the east bank of the river Tiber, commanding distant views in every direction. In the 1990s, Richard S. Levine, a professor of Architecture at the University of Kentucky, included Todi in academic design exercises aimed at conceiving hypothetical improvements to the city and presented its results in a conference titled "The Sustainable City of the Past and the Sustainable City of the Future". As a result, the Italian press incorrectly reported on Todi as ''the world's most livable city''.
