Santuario Di Santa Sperandia
Santa Sperandia is a Baroque-style, Roman Catholic church located on Via Santa Sperandia in the town of Cingoli, province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy. History An oratory was built at the site in the 11th century, and dedicated to St Michael Archangel, patron of the Camaldolese order and a saint favored by the Lombards. By the 14th century, the oratory had been renamed in memory of Sister Sperandia, a Camaldolese nun who died in Cingoli in 1276. Originally from Gubbio, she had dedicated years to eremitic life in a grotto in Monte Acuto for some years, then moved to a small monastic community here, which was increased by Benedictine nuns from a nearby monastery of San Marco fuori Porta Mentana.

Baroque Architecture In Marche
The Baroque ( , , ) is a Western style of architecture, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, and other arts that flourished from the early 17th century until the 1750s. It followed Renaissance art and Mannerism and preceded the Rococo (in the past often referred to as "late Baroque") and Neoclassical styles. It was encouraged by the Catholic Church as a means to counter the simplicity and austerity of Protestant architecture, art, and music, though Lutheran Baroque art developed in parts of Europe as well. The Baroque style used contrast, movement, exuberant detail, deep color, grandeur, and surprise to achieve a sense of awe. The style began at the start of the 17th century in Rome, then spread rapidly to the rest of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, then to Austria, southern Germany, Poland and Russia. By the 1730s, it had evolved into an even more flamboyant style, called ''rocaille'' or ''Rococo'', which appeared in France and Central Europe until the mid to late 1 ...
