San Silvestro, Fanano
San Silvestro is Baroque-style, Roman Catholic parish church located at Via Abà #9 in the town of Fanano in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The church still has traces of Romanesque architecture in sculpted column capitals (1206) from the crypt and the apse. History A church at the site was supposedly founded by 750 by Sant'Anselmo, who abandoned a post as Duke of Friuli to become a cenobitic monk. The land was ceded by his cousin Astolfo, King of the Lombards. Anselmo later moved to found the abbey of Nonantola. Documentation for the church is only found from the 14th-century. However a fire destroyed that church, and an expanded and re-oriented Baroque-style church was erected in 1612. The new church had a nave with flanking aisles, and was supplemented with various chapels. Construction utilized spolia from the prior edifice. A 20th-century refurbishment attempted to reimpose a Romanesque style to the building. The church houses a ''Madonna and Saints'' by Domenico Pas ...

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] |
