Like pearls - the art and cultural works

Later fame of the artists and no-names

The most outstanding artists of the brands are Carlo and Vittorio Crivelli, Pietro Alemanno, Adolfo de Carolis, Lorenzo Lotto and the Ghezzi family of painters. Not to forget the unknown “master from Offida”, who was probably a monk. Not everything that is special and valuable is due to one of them.

The series can be continued enormously long.

The gilded bronzes in pergola are the only group of statues from the Roman period that has ever been found. In neighboring Suasa, a Roman villa was discovered, which houses magnificent floors in all imaginable mosaics, the Marchigian theaters are a feast for the eyes because they are decorated with frescoes. The two relief plates from San Lorenz in the Sibillinen from 1076 show the creation of the world and the New Testament on about 6 m2 ... There is still a lot to enumerate ...
