Church of St. Augustine (Sant'Agostino)
Saint Agustine Church, Genoa, Liguria, Italy, Europe
The church of St. Augustine is a former religious building of the historical center of Genoa, located in Piazza Renato Negri, in the district of Molo. Now deconsecrated, it is sometimes used as an auditorium and is home to theater near the theater of the Cough. In rooms of the convent attached to the church houses the Museum of Sculpture and Architecture Ligure, opened in 1984. The complex, very wide, it is located almost at the top of the hill of Sarzano and extends between Sarzano square (where the museum entrance) , highway Sant'Agostino, Piazza Renato Negri and alley of the Three Wise Men. The church was founded by the Augustinian monks around 1260, when, following the bull Licet Ecclesiae Catholicae issued April 9, 1256 by Pope Alexander IV the various communities of the Augustinian Hermits were combined into a single large order. In this circumstance, one of these communities, which was located near the church of Santa Tecla, on the heights of S. Martino d'Albaro, moved within the walls of Genoa, finding initially established in some houses near the monastery of St. Catherine of Luccoli. To contrast with the Poor Clare nuns of St. Catherine the Augustinian monks had to find another place; agreeing with the rector of the church of San Salvatore in Sarzano in 1260 could begin construction of the church and the convent of land adjacent to it. The founders dedicated to St. Tecla the new religious complex, but was still popularly called St. Augustine because officiated by clerics of this order. The church in 1270 saw the appointment of the captains of the people Oberto Spinola and Oberto Doria to and that of the first doge Simone Boccanegra in 1339. They would be just two Oberti, the diarchi came to power in 1270, to establish that the magistrates of the town on the anniversary of the saints Simon and Jude Thaddeus (October 28) they would offer the church the wax for candles and a pallium, tradition abolished in 1402 by Marshal Boucicault, governor of Genoa on behalf of King Charles VI of France. Some changes intervened over the centuries, especially in the XV, XVII and XVIII century, with updates matching the tastes of different ages. The Augustinians had to leave the complex in 1798, for the laws on the suppression of religious orders issued by the Ligurian Republic. After the abandonment of the convent church he never returned to the cult; deconsecrated, he was used for civil purposes, and began a long period of decline. Looted works of art, was turned into a warehouse of military engineers, it was later leased to private and became the first workshop of a blacksmith and then the workshop of a carpenter; later he housed a recreation centers that did make in a big stage for theater performances. Already in the mid nineteenth century had begun to rise protests about the conditions in which it was held the building, protests which he promoted also Alizeri, who first proposed to use the complex as a museum. It would, however, been nearly eighty years before that, in the twenties of the twentieth century, it was decided to restore entrusted to Orlando Grosso and allocated to house the new Museum of Medieval architecture. The restoration, completed in 1932, also allowed to bring to light the original frescoes of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In 1939 the church was set up a great exhibition of Casacce, the historic brotherhoods Genoese in the nave of the church was rebuilt a procession with traditional Cristi accompanied by the brothers with their richly processional. The restorations just concluded were largely thwarted during the Second World War; in two different circumstances, in 1942 and in 1944, the complex was badly damaged by aerial bombardment, which caused the partial burning of the church roof and the collapse of the inner vault of the apse. Also part of the seventeenth-century cloister was destroyed, along with environments above. An initial safety was already performed in 1945, then in the following years was conducted a full restoration. After the war the building was used for decades as a deposit of sculptures, architectural fragments and frescoes from the churches destroyed, who formed the core of the Museum of Sculpture of St. Augustine, finally opened in 1984. The renovation of the museum, led by the office of the architect Franco Albini, were executed between 1977 and 1986 and also involved the church, which was turned into auditorium and sometimes hosts theater performances of the Cough, located in the same square Renato Negri overlooked the main facade of the church. The church of St. Augustine is one of the few surviving Gothic churches in Genoa to urban expansion of the nineteenth century, which saw the demolition of a large number of churches, convents and oratories.

Machtelt Israëls: Piero at Home: The Art of Piero della Francesca
During the early Renaissance, Piero della Francesca's artistic talents were highly sought after by patrons across the Italian peninsula but nowhere more so than in his hometown of Borgo San Sepolcro. This lecture will explore how Piero gradually transformed the art of painting by applying his pioneering pictorial imagination to the challenge of three gothic polyptychs and by introducing Renaissance format paintings into the domestic interior with his Virgin and Child Enthroned with Four Angels (featured in the exhibition) and Nativity of Christ (The National Gallery, London). The latter work will be discussed in the context of architectural and pictorial decoration designed by Piero for his family's private palazzo.
Location: The Frick Collection, New York, NY

SUMMARY
=======
This is an incomplete list of people and angels whom the Catholic Church has canonized as saints. According to Catholic theology, all saints enjoy the beatific vision; it is impossible therefore for any list to enumerate them all. Many of the saints listed here are to be found in the General Roman Calendar, while others may also be found in the Roman Martyrology; still others are particular to local places and their recognition does not extend to the larger worldwide church.
Candidates go through the following steps on the way to being declared saints.
Saints acknowledged by the Eastern Orthodox and other churches are listed in Category:Christian saints by century and/or Category:Christian saints by nationality.
This list of Catholic saints is ordered chronologically by date of death.
