Places to see in ( Macerata - Italy )
Macerata is a city and comune in central Italy, the county seat of the province of Macerata in the Marche region. Together with the modern town, sprawling on the plain below the historic centre, it has a population of about 43,000. The historical city centre is on a hill between the Chienti and Potenza rivers. It first consisted of the Picenes city named Ricina (Helvia Recina), then, after its romanization, Recina and Helvia Recina. After the destruction of Helvia Recina by the barbarians, the inhabitants took shelter in the hills and eventually began to rebuild the city, first on the top of the hills, before descending again later and expanding. The newly rebuilt town was Macerata. It became a municipality (or comune in Italian) in August 1138.
The town counts several hamlets (frazioni) and localities: Acquesalate, Acquevive, Botonto San Giacomo, Botonto Sant'Isidoro, Cervare, Cimarella, Cincinelli, Collevario, Colleverde, Consalvi, Corneto, Helvia Recina, Isola, Madonna del Monte, Montanello, Piediripa, Sforzacosta, Valle, Vallebona, Valteia, Villa Potenza. In July and August the Sferisterio Opera Festival is held in the 2,500 seat Arena Sferisterio. It is a huge neoclassical arena erected in the 1820s as a stadium for a form of handball by the architect Ireneo Aleandri. The orchestra pit is so wide that musicians at each end cannot hear each other.
In the central Piazza della Libertà is the Loggia dei Mercanti with two-tier arcades dating from the Renaissance. There are a number of striking palazzi, mostly along Corso Matteotti, including Palazzo dei diamanti. Next to the Loggia dei Mercanti, Corso della Repubblica leads to Piazza Vittorio Veneto where, in the Palazzo Ricci, there is a modern art gallery. Another museum that is definitely worth a visit is Palazzo Buonaccorsi where you can see the amazing Eneide Hall (a gallery with paintings and frescoes from the 18th century) and the Carriages Museum. Soon the building will host the city Art Gallery with its most important artpiece, the Madonna and Child by Carlo Crivelli.
The University of Macerata was founded in 1290 and has about 13,000 students; Macerata also has an art school, two publishing houses (Liberilibri and Quodlibet), jazz clubs and the like. The Palazzo Buonaccorsi was built in 1700–1720 for Count Raimondo Buonaccorsi and his son Cardinal Simone Buonaccorsi using designs by Giovanni Battista Contini. The piano nobile is known for the Sala dell'Eneide, decorated with frescoes by Rambaldi, Dardani, Solimena, and canvases by Garzi and Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole. Just north of the town, at the Villa Potenza, lie the remains of ancient Helvia Recina, a Roman settlement destroyed by the Visigoths.
Among the churches in the town are:
Macerata Cathedral: built in Neoclassical style in 1771–1790; it has the remains of a 15th-century Gothic bell tower. The interior was designed by Cosimo Morelli.
San Claudio al Chienti: Romanesque church south of the Town. Its unusual shape is due to one church being built on the remains of another. It was built during the 14th century as war reparation to Montolmo (today's Corridonia), which defeated Macerata in a bloody and long war. San Claudio al Chienti is very close to Macerata, but it has been a frazione of Corridonia since that time.

San Giorgio

Places to see in ( Civitanova Marche - Italy )
Civitanova Marche is a comune in the Province of Macerata in the Italian region Marche, located about 40 kilometres southeast of Ancona and about 25 km east of Macerata. Civitanova Marche borders the municipalities: Montecosaro, Porto Sant'Elpidio, Potenza Picena and Sant'Elpidio a Mare. It counts the hamlets (frazioni) of Civitanova Alta, Fontespina, Maranello, Risorgimento, San Marone and Santa Maria Apparente.
Prehistorical settlements discovered by archaeologists show us that people used to live in Civitanova since Palaeolithic. Civitanova was founded probably around the 8th century BC as Cluana by the Piceni Italic tribe, at the mouth of the Chienti river. The Romans captured it in 268 BC, and, in 50 AD, founded a new settlement, Cluentis Vicus (the current frazione of Civitanova Alta) on a hill near the sea. During the Barbaric invasion, old Cluana was destroyed by the Visigoths and much of the population took refuge in the Vicus.
Ducal Palace Cesarini Sforza has been built in the 16th century upon the remains of a pre-existing building. The palace has been reshaped in the 19th century. Inside some Pellegrino Tibaldi frescoes of the 16th century have been conserved. The year of the first renovation coincides to the cession of Civitanova, in 1551, by Pope Julius III to the Roman noble Giuliano Cesarini for a debt contracted by the Apostolic Camera. During the following century the palace gets named Palazzo Ducale Cesarini-Sforza following the marriage between Livia Cesarini e Federico Sforza di Santa Fiora which took place in 1674. The palace, recently restructured, is situated in Piazza della Libertà of Civitanova Alta.
Palazzo Cesarini-Sforza was built in 1862 upon the remains of a 15th-century fortress. The Palace overlooks Piazza XX Settembre where at the bottom there are gardens which conserve the fountain that once decorated the centre of the square. Built in 1867 according to the project of engineer Guglielmo Prosperi and realized by the Basile brothers, it has three floors oriented towards the square of Civitanova Alta. Ground floor, characterized by a loggia with the ingress at the centre, hosts the Roman gravestone where ancient Civitanova name Cluentensis Vicus is carved. Wide stairs lead to the board room frescoed with Aeneid depictions dedicated to the poet Annibal Caro as well as portraits of noble citizens.
Over the gardens of Piazza XX Settembre there are the elegant liberty buildings of Lido Cluana, reworked during the fascist period with the add of fascist flagpoles that can be observed even today. Villa Conti is a liberty villa built in 1910, completely destroyed during World War II and consequently rebuilt. Located between Civitanova Alta and Civitanova Porto, characterized by a park with an Italian garden. Next to the villa there is a neo-gothic church which is the reproduction of Cappuccini Nuovi of Macerata.
Villa Eugenia is located on San Marone hamlet, commissioned by Napoleon I in 1797. The villa is currently in miserable conditions, and because of this it can't be visited by anyone. Empress Eugenia Montjo, wife of Napoleon III used to live there. Perfectly conserved, these walls are a good example of military reinessance architecture. Commissioned in 1440 by the Sforza family along with the four S.Paolo, Girone, Mercato and S.Angelo doors.

GROTTAMMARE (ASCOLI PICENO, MARCHE, ITALY)
Grottamare, comune di 15713 abitanti sulla costa adriatica centrale, provincia di Ascoli Piceno, Marche, Italia. Questa località ha origini antichissime in quanto vi sono tracce antropiche risalenti al neolitico. Sul suo territorio è stata scoperta una necropoli picena risalente al VII-V secolo a.C. Dominio nel Medioevo dell'abbazia di Farfa fu ceduta a Fermo nel 1214 da Aldobrandino d'Este e tra il XIII e il XVI secolo fu a lungo contesa tra Fermo ed Ascoli. L'attuale impianto di mura fortificate risale proprio al XVI secolo, caratterizzato da violente contese con le comunità vicine e da scorrerie piratesche. Dal XVIII secolo iniziò l'espansione verso la zona costiera il cui impianto urbanistico, opera dell'architetto di origine lombarda Pietro Augustoni, si deve all'intervento di papa Pio VI (1779). Di grande importanza per la storia nazionale l'incontro che vi si tenne il 12 ottobre 1860 tra Vittorio Emanuele II, ospitato a Palazzo Laureati, e una delegazione di notabili partenopei che furono costretti a cedergli il Regno delle due Sicilie. Nel 1863 Grottammare venne collegata per ferrovia con Ancona e l'Abruzzo. L'avvento dei trasporti su rotaia diede ulteriore impulso allo sviluppo economico e demografico della cittadina, che in seguito fu cannoneggiata il 23 giugno 1916 da due cacciatorpediniere austroungarici messi in fuga dall'intervento di un treno armato della Regia Marina. L'impianto urbanistico riprende quello romano: tale sistema prevedeva l'incrocio di due assi principali, il cardo (in linea di massima con direttrice nord-sud) e il decumano (est-ovest) e nel mezzo si trovava quasi sempre il foro, ossia la piazza principale della città. Il resto dell'insediamento si sviluppava su vie parallele ai due assi viari principali. A Grottammare tali direttrici possono essere individuate nell'asse costituito dalle attuali vie Marconi e Cairoli (cardo) e in quello di corso Mazzini (decumano) aventi come intersezione la centrale piazza Pericle Fazzini.

Provincia di Macerata - Vivere l'emozione dell'Italia autentica
La Provincia di Macerata si estende tra i fiumi Potenza a nord e Tenna a sud, e ad occidente dalla catena dei Monti Sibillini. La sua superficie totale è di circa 2.774 kmq e la popolazione di 324,369 abitanti. Il territorio si presenta con le caratteristiche tipiche del paesaggio appenninico: una fascia litoranea pianeggiante, rilievi dolci modellati dal lavoro agricolo e la montagna che è diventata una meta degli sport invernali. Monti, colline, vallate, boschi e campi coltivati conducono verso il litorale Adriatico, dove si delinea uno scenario naturale dai mille volti di Porto Recanati e Civitanova Marche, che ha dato origine ad una consistente attività peschereccia e turistico-balneare. Il capoluogo, Macerata, si estende tra le valli del Potenza e del Chienti, immersa in un vasto armonioso paesaggio, circondato dai colori della natura. Nella città si trova la costruzione neo-classica dello Sferisterio, uno tra i monumenti più belli d'Italia. Nella provincia sorgono Recanati, patria di Giacomo Leopardi e Beniamino Gigli, Camerino, sede di una delle più antiche università, Tolentino, centro turistico e religioso, San Severino, città d'arte. Ma è la cultura la protagonista nella terra maceratese sin dai tempi di Padre Matteo Ricci che lasciò l'Italia per raggiungere la Cina, aprendo così una porta all'Europa verso l'Oriente.

Places to see in ( Venice - Italy ) Chiesa della Madonna dell'Orto
The Madonna dell'Orto is a church in Venice, Italy, in the sestiere of Cannaregio. The church was erected by the now-defunct religious order the Humiliati in the mid-14th century, under the direction of Tiberio da Parma, who is buried in the interior. It was initially dedicated to St. Christopher, patron saint of travellers, but its popular name suggesting consecration to Holy Virgin comes from the following century, when an allegedly miraculous statue of the Madonna, commissioned for the Church of S. Maria Formosa but rejected, was brought to the Church from the nearby orchard (orto in Italian) where it had languished.
The church lay on weak foundations and in 1399 a restoration project was financed by the city's Maggior Consiglio. The Humiliati, due to their depraved customs, were ousted in 1462 and the Madonna dell'Orto was assigned to the congregation of Canons Regular of San Giorgio in Alga. The latter order was suppressed in 1668, and the following year the Church and convent annexed were handed over to Cistercians of Lombardy. In 1787 the church came under public administration. Restoration was begun under Austrian rule in the 1840s and finished in 1869, by which time Venice had become part of the unified Kingdom of Italy.
The façade, built in 1460–1464, has sloping sides and is in brickwork, divided in three parts by two pilasters strips. The two side sections have quadruple mullioned windows, while the central has a large rose window. The portal is surmounted by a pointed arch with white stone decorations portraying, on the summit, St. Christopher, the Madonna and the Archangel Gabriel by Nicolò di Giovanni Fiorentino and Antonio Rizzo. Under is a tympanum, in porphyry, supported by circular pilaster strips. The whole is included into a porch with Corinthian columns.
The interior has a nave and two aisles, with double-framed pointed arches supported by Greek marble columns. The transept is absent, while in the rear is a pentagonal apse decorated by paintings by Jacobo Robusti, known as Tintoretto, who is buried here. The organ over the entrance was built in 1878, and is one of the most powerful in Venice.
