Sant'Anna, Spello
Sant’Anna is a 14th-century oratory located in Spello, province of Perugia, region of Umbria, Italy. History This chapel was originally the prayer hall or oratory of the medieval Flagellant confraternity ''dei disciplinati di Sant'Anna'', who are known to have operated a hospital nearby since 1362. The hospital and confraternity appear to have been suppressed in 1571, and led the building to serve as a warehouse. In 1970, the frescoes underwent restoration, and the building is now known also known as Capella Tega, due to the present owner. The walls of the oratory were frescoed circa 1461 by Nicolò di Liberatore known as ''l'Alunno'' and a second artist, once designated as the ''Master of the Life of the Baptist'' (Todino) (Maestro delle storie del Battista-Todini), now suspected to be Pietro di Mazzaforte, son of Giovanni di Corraduccio Giovanni di Corraduccio, also called Giovanni Mazaforte, (active circa 1404-1437) was an Italian painter of the Gothic style, active main ...

Spello
Spello (in Antiquity: Hispellum) is an ancient town and ''comune'' (township) of Italy, in the province of Perugia in eastern-central Umbria, on the lower southern flank of Mt. Subasio. It is 6 km (4 mi) NNW of Foligno and 10 km (6 mi) SSE of Assisi. The old walled town lies on a regularly NW-SE sloping ridge that eventually meets the plain. From the top of the ridge, Spello commands a good view of the Umbrian plain towards Perugia; at the bottom of the ridge, the town spills out of its walls into a small modern section (or ''borgo'') served by the rail line from Rome to Florence via Perugia. History Populated in ancient times by the Umbri, it became a Roman colony in the 1st century BC. Under the reign of Constantine the Great it was called ''Flavia Constans'', as attested by a document preserved in the local Communal Palace. Main sights The densely inhabited town, built with stone, retains its medieval aspect; the town is enclosed in a circuit of medieval ...

Flagellant
Flagellants are practitioners of a form of mortification of the flesh by whipping their skin with various instruments of penance. Many Christian confraternities of penitents have flagellants, who beat themselves, both in the privacy of their dwellings and in public processions, in order to repent of sins and share in the Passion of Jesus. In the 14th century, a movement within Western Christianity known as Flagellantism became popular and adherents "began beating their flesh in a public penitential ritual in response to war, famine, plague and fear engendered by millenarianism." Though this movement withered away, the practices of public repentance and promoting peace were adopted by the flagellants in Christian, especially Roman Catholic, confraternities of penitents that exist to the present-day. History Flagellation (from Latin ''flagellare'', to whip) was quite a common practice amongst the more fervently religious throughout antiquity. Christianity has formed a permanent ...
