San Pietro e Addolorata

Die Basilika San Pietro e Addolorata ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche in Acqui Terme im Piemont, Italien. Die frühere Klosterkirche des Bistums Aqui trägt den Titel einer Basilica minor. Die frühchristliche Kirche wurde im 7. Jahrhundert von den Langobarden und dann im 11. Jahrhundert erneuert und war bis 1067 Kathedrale. Sie wurde im 18. Jahrhundert stark modifiziert. Von dem ursprünglichen Bau sind das Hauptschiff und der romanische Glockenturm erhalten. Geschichte Die antike frühchristliche Basilika wird bis in das 4. Jahrhundert zurückgeführt. Unter dem Langobardenkönig Agilulf wurde sie Anfang des 7. Jahrhunderts ausgebaut, eine Fertigstellung wird im 9. Jahrhundert vermutet. Danach ist sie als Bischofskirche belegt, wozu auch die Bischofsgräber aus dem 11. Jahrhundert gehören. Sie wurde dann als dreischiffige Basilika im romanischen Stil gestaltet. Um 1030 wurden die Kanoniker in die im Bau befindliche Kathedrale verlegt, Benediktinermönche übernahmen die Peterskirche, die dann 1067 auch ihre Funktion als Kathedrale verlor. Im darauffolgenden Jahrhundert wurde die Anlage mit Gebäuden zur Unterbringung der Mönche und dem achteckigen Glockenturm an der südlichen Apsis ausgestattet. Mit dem Erliegen des Benediktinerklosters Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts begann der Verfall des Gebäudes. Um 1720 wurde die Kirche geteilt, um die Bruderschaft Santa Caterina in einem barockisierten Teil unter dem Patrozinium der Schmerzensmutter zu beherbergen. Im 19. Jahrhundert wurde sie teilweise als Privatwohnung genutzt, wobei die Innen- und Außenstrukturen stark beschädigt wurden. Seit 1927 wurde die Kirche einer umfangreichen Rekonstruktion unterzogen, um sie in ihrer ursprünglichen Form unter Entfernung der Stuckarbeiten wiederherzustellen. Die heutige Kirche ist das Ergebnis einer vollständigen Restaurierung im Jahr 1960. Architektur Die schlichte Backsteinfassade hat vorspringende Lisenen und zeigt eine Tendenz zur Vertikalität, sie wurde mit den Seitenschiffen im 20. Jahrhundert wiederaufgebaut. Das Kirchenschiff mit seinen Stützen, der hintere Teil der Seitenschiffe und die Apsiden gehen auf die ursprüngliche Struktur zurück. Ausstattung Im Inneren ist ein Fresko aus der Mitte des 15. Jahrhunderts zu erwähnen, das die Pietà mit den Bischöfen Maggiorino und Titus darstellt, das von der Wand abgenommen und restauriert wurde; erwähnenswert sind auch die beiden Gemälde Die Dornenkrönung und Jesus vor Pilatus aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Die Holzstatue der Schmerzensmutter wurde von Bischof Carlo Antonio Gozzano gestiftet, als er die Abtei zu 1720 in zwei Kirchen aufteilte, von denen eine der Schmerzensmutter gewidmet war.

Church of the Addolorata, Acqui Terme

The Church of the Addolorata (Italian:Chiesa dell’Addolorata) is a Romanesque-style, Roman Catholic basilica church located on Piazza Addolorata, in Acqui Terme, Province of Alessandria, region of Piedmont, Italy. History The church is dedicated to the Marian devotion of Our Lady of Sorrows, however, the church is also called San Pietro, since it was once attached to what was once the adjacent Benedictine monastery of San Pietro. The layout we see today was built in the 11th century at the site of a late 6th-century paleochristian church located just outside the city walls. It had three naves with an octagonal bell-tower at the southern apse. The simple brick facade has protruding pilasters and shows a trend towards verticality. After 1720, with the closing of the monastery, part of the church was rededicated to the Addolorata. It underwent major restoration after the First World War, that stripped much of the decoration, giving the interior a white-washed simplicity. The apse and the base of the bell-tower retain medieval traces. The interior conserves a 15th-century Deposition fresco and two 16th-century canvases depicting Christ Crowned with Spines and Christ before Pilate. The wooden statue of the Madonna Addolorata dates to 1720. References
Castello di Carimate

The Castello di Carimate is a 14th-century castle located on Piazza Castello #1 in the town of Carimate, Province of Como, Lombardy, Italy. History The first documents herald that Luchino I Visconti in 1345 reconstructed a citadel at the site, destroyed by prior conflicts between Como and Milan. By 1380, Bernabò Visconti sold the castle to his wife Beatrice Regina della Scala. The castle passed through a few Visconti hands, and by 1415, Filippo Maria Visconti, granted the castle to a Domenico Aicardi, captain of his stable, as a reward for revealing the conspiracy of the Malatesta, Arcelli and Beccaria. In addition, he was granted the right to add the Visconti suffix to his name. After the transfer of power from the Visconti to the Sfroza, in 1477, Galeazzo Maria Sforza reconfirmed the property as belonging to the heirs of Giorgio Scaramuzza Visconti Aicardi, which include a son Lancelotto Visconti, who in 1481 refurbished again the Castle. Among the famous guests was Bianca Maria Sforza, daughter of the Duke of Milan, being escorted in 1493 by a large cortege to Germany to become the bride of the Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. In 1496 and 1499, the Maximilian himself stayed in the castle. In 1626, with the death of Annibale Visconti, last male descendant of Domenico Ajcardi, the castle becomes property ultimately to an Ottavio Visconti, whose family held the castle till 1795, when his last male descendant, Lodovico Visconti, died. In 1800, the castle was sold to the brothers Cristoforo and Carlo Arnaboldi of Como. In 1874, Bernardo Arnaboldi Gazzaniga, Count of Pirocco, performs another major refurbishment of the castle. Period photographs document how he displayed his large collection of paintings, tapestries, and other artworks in the dwelling. The large square block of a Gothic-style building has a central courtyard. Traces of a portcullis and drawbridge remain at the entrance, the former gatehouse. At the southwest corner is a tall brick tower, mainly separate from the main block. The entrance has a series of asymmetries to the structure. The peaked windows on the second floor are mullioned; the roofline crenellated, as are parts of the fences on the town-side. The northern side has an elevated terrace above the grounds. Modern use The castle, now only 30 minutes outside of Milan, is used as a 50-room hotel and spa, with access to the adjacent nearby golf course, and on-site restaurant. The interior decoration includes neo-gothic ribbing and ceiling decorations added in the 19th century. Between 1977 and 1987 some rooms of the castle were used as a recording studio under the name Stone Castle Studios. Artists like Yes, Fabrizio De André, Mia Martini, Pooh, Lucio Dalla, Antonello Venditti, Riccardo Cocciante, Nena, Paul Young and Roberto Vecchioni have recorded there. References

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Rosa (Lucca)

La chiesa di Santa Maria della Rosa è una chiesa di Lucca che si trova in via della Rosa. In questa chiesa il 1º settembre 1574 san Giovanni Leonardi fondò i Chierici regolari della Madre di Dio. Architettura La chiesa risale al 1309 con la trasformazione di un oratorio dove era venerata un'immagine della Madonna tra i Santi Pietro e Paolo. L'accrescersi della venerazione per la Madonna, che venne detta "della rosa" dai fiori che tiene in mano, portò nel 1333 a un nuovo ampliamento dell'oratorio, del quale fu mutato l'orientamento, che a ovest si appoggiò alle mura romane mentre gli altri lati vennero articolati con archeggiature a tutto sesto che, nel fianco est, accolgono bifore. La facciata fu completata alla fine del Quattrocento con un portale riferibile all'ambiente di Matteo Civitali. L'interno, frutto di un intervento quattrocentesco, è articolato in tre navate su colonne e volte a crociera. Sull'altare maggiore è collocata la trecentesca Madonna della Rosa. La parete interna sul lato occidentale è l'unico tratto delle mura romane di Lucca che ci sia giunto in buone condizioni di conservazione. Luoghi di Gemma Galgani Questa chiesa fu frequentata assiduamente negli ultimi anni della sua vita terrena da Santa Gemma Galgani dal 1900 al 1903, anno in cui morì l'11 aprile, sabato santo, malata di tubercolosi. In questa chiesa Gemma viene ricordata ogni anno nell'anniversario della sua morte. È possibile pregare vicino allo scranno originale dove Santa Gemma usava racchiudersi in preghiera durante la frequentazione della chiesa.

Monastero-santuario di Santa Gemma Galgani

Il monastero-santuario di Santa Gemma Galgani, o monastero delle Passioniste, si trova a Lucca in via di Tiglio. Storia e descrizione Il monastero, dedicato a santa Gemma Galgani che qui visse ed è sepolta, risale originariamente al 1771. In una delle sue estasi, la santa ebbe una visione del Cristo che le chiedeva con insistenza un nuovo monastero, che venne iniziato nel 1935 su progetto dell'architetto Italo Baccelli di Lucca, il cui impianto cupola-campanili sembra ispirato al Duomo di Berlino. Dopo l'interruzione durante il conflitto bellico, i lavori vennero ripresi e terminati, dopo alterne fasi, nel 1965, con la costruzione della cupola secondo il progetto dell'architetto imolese Adriano Marabini. Le spoglie della santa riposano sotto l'altare maggiore, in un'urna dello scultore Francesco Nagni. All'interno della chiesa, la pala d'altare (Cristo che imprime le stigmate a santa Gemma Galgani sorretta dall'angelo della Passione) e i due mosaici (San Paolo della Croce e San Gabriele dell'Addolorata) sono opera di Primo Conti. A sinistra dell'altare il gruppo marnoreo della Passione è di Tommaso Gismondi, autore anche dei due altorilievi bronzei sulle pareti con i Dolori di Maria. Nel 2008 il santuario ha ospitato la statua di Nostra Signora di Lourdes.
