Taddeo Di Bartolo
Taddeo di Bartolo (c. 1363 – 26 August 1422), also known as Taddeo Bartoli, was an Italian painter of the Sienese School during the early Renaissance. He is among the artists profiled in Vasari's biographies of artists or ''Vite''. Vasari claims he is the uncle of Domenico di Bartolo. Biography Taddeo di Bartolo was born in Siena. The exact year of his birth is unknown, but it’s been suspected to be between 1363-65. He was the son of a certain Bartolo di Maestro Mino, a barber, and not of the painter Bartolo di Fredi, as Vasari believed, and therefore not the brother of Andrea di Bartolo. Around 1389 he entered the Sienese Guild of artists, where he mastered the art of painting among his Sienese colleagues. In 1389 Taddeo traveled to Collegarli, the San Miniato al Tedesco hills, and Pisa. The painting of ''The Virgin and Child Enthroned'', signed and dated in 1390 and created in the church of San Paolo in Pisa, is one of Taddeo’s first documented works. In 1393, Ta ...

Duomo Of Santa Maria Dell'Assunta, Montepulciano
''Duomo'' (, ) is an Italian term for a church with the features of, or having been built to serve as, a cathedral, whether or not it currently plays this role. Monza Cathedral, for example, has never been a diocesan seat and is by definition not a cathedral. On the other hand, the city of Trevi no longer has a bishop, although it once did, and the erstwhile cathedral of Emilianus of Trevi is now a mere church. By contradistinction, the Italian word for a cathedral '' sensu stricto'' is ''cattedrale''. There is no direct translation of "duomo" into English, leading to many such churches being erroneously called "cathedral" in English, regardless of whether the church in question hosts a bishop. Many people refer to particular churches simply as ''il Duomo'', the ''Duomo'', without regard to the full proper name of the church. Similar words exist in other European languages: ''Dom'' (German), ''dom'' (Romanian), ''dóm'' ( Hungarian and Slovak), ''dôme'' ( French), ''domo'' ( ...

San Francesco, Pisa
San Francesco de' Ferri is a church in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy. Mentioned for the first time in a document from 1233, the church was rebuilt starting from 1261 by will of archbishop Federico Visconti.

The works, directed by Giovanni di Simone, ended in 1270 and included also the slender bell tower. The marble façade is from 1603.
