San Francesco, Correggio

San Francesco is a Roman Catholic church located on Via Roma in the town center of Correggio, province of Reggio Emilia, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. History A Franciscan convent was putatively established in town in 1322, although documentation is scarce. Archeologic studies suggest this convent has structures dating at least to the late 14th century. Documents do verify work in 1443 on the complex. The church was apparently rebuilt in 1463-1490 under the patronage of Manfredo II of Correggio and his wife Agnese Pio. Over the next century the convent gained a second cloister and more dormitories. Further construction continued over the following centuries, including designs for a refurbishment of the monastery in 1766 by the architect Francesco Cipriano Forti. In 1846, his grandson Francesco Forti, continued work on the convent. In 1926, the church underwent restoration. The earthquake of October 15, 1996 damaged the structure of the church and its bell tower. Extensive restorations have been pursued since. Little movable artwork remains. The interior structure has a central nave separated from lateral aisles by brick columns and pilasters. The vaults are ribbed in Gothic-style. This church once housed two important works by Antonio Allegri: the Madonna and Child with St Francis (1514-1515), now in Dresden, was the main altarpiece, and the Rest on the Flight to Egypt with St Francis (1520) is now at the Uffizi in Florence. Allegri was buried in this church in 1534, in tombs with his family. The painting of the Madonna was removed by the Duke Francesco I d'Este in 1636. References
Chiesa di San Francesco (Correggio)

La chiesa di San Francesco è un edificio di culto cattolico situato in via Azzo da Correggio, a Correggio, in provincia di Reggio Emilia. È la chiesa più antica della cittadina reggiana; qui riposano alcuni membri dell'illustre famiglia Da Correggio ed ebbe sepoltura il famoso pittore Antonio Allegri detto Il Correggio. Storia Costruito una prima volta, nel 1420, da Giberto VIII da Correggio, fu ricostruito, tra il 1469 ed il 1470, per volontà di Manfredo II e di sua moglie Agnese Pio. L'edificio rimase tuttavia incompiuto e, tra il 1475 ed il 1484, fu finalmente portato a termine. Col passare dei tempi gli furono aggiunte le cappelle barocche e le finestre furono modificate. La chiesa ospitò fino al 1638 due dipinti giovanili del Correggio: la Madonna di San Francesco, ora alla Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister di Dresda, e il Riposo in Egitto con san Francesco esposto oggi alla Galleria degli Uffizi a Firenze. Nel 1641 i resti del Correggio furono momentaneamente spostati nel chiostro, attuale sede del liceo statale Rinaldo Corso, a causa dei lavori che coinvolgevano lo stabile della chiesa; da allora risultano dispersi. Descrizione La chiesa presenta una facciata in cotto, coronata con archetti foggiati a conchiglia. L'interno è diviso in tre navate con volte a crociera a nervatura. Le volte sono sostenute da colonne e pilastri ornati con capitelli marmorei sui quali s'impostano archi ogivali. Nella seconda cappella di destra vi è il quadro San Bernardino, ove il santo è intento a guarire uno storpio. Tale opera è attribuita al pittore calabrese Mattia Preti. Nella cappella in capo alla navata vi è la lapide tombale di Giberto VIII da Correggio.

Abbazia di Santa Maria delle Macchie

L'Abbazia di Santa Maria delle Macchie è un monastero benedettino cattolico romano nella frazione Macchie di San Ginesio. Storia Non è chiaro quando fu fondata l'abbazia benedettina in questo sito. L'uso abbondante del reimpiego dalla vicina città romana di Urbs Salvia, suggerisce che l'abbazia intorno all'VIII secolo e IX secolo, ma le tecniche di costruzione nella cripta del XII secolo suggeriscono la fondazione dopo il X secolo. Una pergamena conservata presso l'archivio della cattedrale di San Severino Marche, dimostra che la struttura nel 1171 esisteva, mentre la prima documentazione confermata è del XIII secolo. Essa è una delle quattro abbazie fondate dai benedettini nel territorio. Nel 1252 fu acquisita dal comune di San Ginesio. Nel 1500 fu proprietà di un privato che ne godeva la rendita. Nel XVI secolo la portata dell'abbazia era limitata, ma persistette come istituzione benedettina fino al 1848, costretti a lasciarla a causa della secolarizzazione dei beni ecclesiastici. Con il Terremoto del Centro Italia del 2016 e del 2017, l'abbazia risulta inagibile. Architettura Nel 1658 il cardinale Giovanni Evangelista Pallotta promosse il restauro dell'intero complesso: chiesa e monastero. La cripta in stile romanico ben conservata conserva alcuni dei pochi elementi originali. La facciata in stile barocco del XVII secolo ha un frontone curvo e un precedente rosone fu sostituito da quattro finestre rettangolari scomode. Il portale originale in terracotta ad arco tondo presentava alcuni frammenti di materiali riciclati, di fregi e volute in marmo. Il restauro della chiesa le ha modificato il numero delle navate, diminuendogliele e facendone restare quella centrale. Il presbiterio è elevato per accogliere la cripta e l'abside ha due grandi cappelle. La cripta è il gioiello del sito, con sette navate densamente popolate da colonne e lesene. Alcune colonne sono costruite in stile romanico, con motivi ornamentali di piante e animali, con antichi capitelli ionici romani e altre con steli di marmo. Gli edifici adiacenti possono essere resti del vicino monastero.

L'entrata della chiesa affaccia sulla piazza principale del paese, Piazza Bracaccini Storia L'attuale collegiata venne costruita in mattoni nel 1768, quando fu completata in stile barocco. La facciata è sobria e tradizionale di chiesa a due piani con pilastri. I fianchi laterali recedono leggermente. Prima di essa si ha notizie di una chiesa risalente al 1308. Gli interni hanno pareti e soffitti altamente decorati. La navata è fiancheggiata da pilastri con capitelli corinzi dorati. Le pareti e le colonne sono decorate con arabeschi floreali, e i fregi con dei festoni.

Curiosità Nella Collegiata di San Donato, ogni venerdì santo, si celebrano le cosiddette "tre ore" in cui si rievoca la passione e morte di Cristo. La mattina presto viene montato il "Calvario", ossia lo scenario della crocifissione: vengono calati tre teli (quello centrale principale e i due laterali), cosicché venga coperta la zona del coro e il crocifisso. Successivamente viene montato il palco, coperto con la scenografia. alla fine vengono issate le tre croci: quelle laterali, dei ladroni, sono disegnate, mentre la croce di Cristo è di legno e dovrà sostenere la statua in cartapesta. Gesù viene portato all'interno della chiesa con il "Cataletto", ossia il letto funebre a ruote che poi lo porterà in processione intorno al paese la sera stessa. Quindi, viene issato. La chiesa chiude e riaprirà il pomeriggio per la celebrazione delle Tre Ore. Rimarrà aperta fino alla sera quando poi uscirà la processione del Venerdì Santo col sopracitato Cataletto.
