San Sebastiano, Melilli
San Sebastiano is a Baroque-style Roman Catholic church located in the town of Melilli, province of Siracusa, region of Sicily, Italy. It is located along a hill above the town, along Via Italia, which has a scenic park and overlook from where one can look towards the industrial refineries along the Mediterranean coast near Augusta. History and description A church near the present space was erected near a grotto or cave named ''Carcarella'', where a frescoed aedicule depicted an image of St Sebastian, the titular saint. To this church, in 1414, was also translated a wood icon putatively of the Saint rescued from a shipwrecked English boat located near the bay of Stentinello. This early church had a north-facing facade, but was razed by the 1683 Sicily earthquake. Only the wooden statue of St Sebastian survived. Reconstruction began in 1695, employing the designs of Francesco Rinaldi, Francesco Pattavina, and Geronimo Palazzotto. The facade had merely been completed at the ...

Baroque Architecture
Baroque architecture is a highly decorative and theatrical style which appeared in Italy in the early 17th century and gradually spread across Europe. It was originally introduced by the Catholic Church, particularly by the Jesuits, as a means to combat the Reformation and the Protestant church with a new architecture that inspired surprise and awe. It reached its peak in the High Baroque (1625–1675), when it was used in churches and palaces in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Bavaria and Austria. In the Late Baroque period (1675–1750), it reached as far as Russia and the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in Latin America. About 1730, an even more elaborately decorative variant called Rococo appeared and flourished in Central Europe. Baroque architects took the basic elements of Renaissance architecture, including domes and colonnades, and made them higher, grander, more decorated, and more dramatic. The interior effects were often achieved with the use of ''quadratura'', or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
