San Giovanni Battista, Pesaro
San Giovanni Battista is a church located on Via Passeri #98 in central Pesaro, region of Marche, Italy. History The church was erected on the site of a former mausoleum constructed by Alessandro Sforza, and which was razed in 1536 by the Duke Francesco Maria I Della Rovere. The church and an adjacent convent were commissioned in 1543 by the Franciscan Minorites of Osservanza. The original plan was by Girolamo Genga, but on his death in 1551, work proceeded under his son Bartolomeo, who died 7 years later. Paucity of funds, meant construction on the church continued till formal consecration in 1656. The facade remains unfinished. The interiors underwent refurbishment in the 17th century, with the elimination of some of the lateral altars.
