San Francesco, Loro Piceno
San Francesco is a Baroque-style Roman Catholic church located in the town of Loro Piceno, province of Macerata, in the region of Marche, Italy. History The Franciscans arrived to Loro Piceno by 1362, and likely soon after founded a monastery and adjacent church. The latter was consecrated in 1372. The monastery was suppressed only by the Napoleonic invasion, and even afterward some five monks returned after the complex was reassigned to the order after the restoration of Papal government. By then much of the convent became used for other activities including a school. The sacristy had been used in the 18th century as a town archive. Between the seventeenth and nineteenth century, the total number altars inside the church was reduced to five. In 1793, the wooden choir stalls were moved. The conterfacade held an organ built by Gaetano Callido. The front of the nave once had wooden benches reserved for the nobility of the town; these were moved to the council chamber.
