Cathedral of Crema, Crema, Lombardy, Italy, Europe
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is the main and oldest place of Catholic worship in the city of Crema, the bishop's seat of the diocese of the same name. The gabled and wind-like façade is divided into three parts by large Romanesque arches, as well as Romanesque are the portal with cordon arches, the capitals with plant motifs and the cuspidal decorative loggia with thirty-three marble columns. The central Saltrio stone rosette is typically Gothic with sixteen radial columns intertwined with small round arches. If the numerous decorative elements of the façade were the starting point for learned and suggestive spiritual allegories (a sort of ascent of the sinner soul towards salvation), their numerical symbolism falls instead into the classical medieval canons. Thus the 3 spiers indicate perfection and the Trinity, the 33 columns of the loggia refer to the years lived by Jesus, the 16 of the rose window correspond to the 12 apostles plus the 4 evangelists. The façade has other symbolisms: a square stone under the left mullioned window indicates the undifferentiated raw material, departure for human and Christian salvation; the pentacles, which represent the stylized image of man with open arms and spread legs, symbol of the perfect man who is the Christ; the vine shoots and vine leaves that surround the wind windows symbolize the Eucharist and the Christ; a panel on the left lateral buttress contains seven circles, or the seven planets known at the time of construction; on the right buttress, on the other hand, a checkered rhombus recalls the ambiguity of life and reality and is dominated by a palm, a sign of victory. On the semi-columns are also two stone plaques that testify to what point the construction had arrived in 1301 and in 1305. The sides appear as restored after the restoration of the mid-twentieth century. Four buttresses divide the southern wall into five bays, the central nave (with mullioned windows to illuminate the interiors) and the lateral nave. In this there are long single lancet windows except on the third bay where the 14th-century side portal is located. This is in a misaligned position with respect to the rosette above it. In the lunette of the portal there is a walled sculpture called the Madòna dal Póm (the Madonna of the Pomo), because if with the left arm it supports the child Jesus, with the right hand he holds an apple. At the second bay there are also two faces on twisted columns inside a niche. The northern side is similar to the southern one; at the first bay, however, we find a decentralized blind mullioned window, while the second one shows the signs of a small door. At the third bay there is the decentralized side entrance (an explanation for this anomaly was not found); the next part of the side is covered by the New Sacristy and the Bishop's Palace. All the under-eaves of the naves and buttresses have a decoration with intertwined terracotta arches. The bell tower dates back to the period between the 13th and 14th centuries and although it is an integral part of the church, grafting onto the chapel of San Pantaleone, it appears almost as an architectural element and itself. The Duomo of Crema has a three-nave plan: the central one ends with a flat apse in the Cistercian manner while the lateral ones are concluded by chapels. From the square you go down a step to the level of the ancient earthenware floor. The powerful columns that divide the aisles are leaning towards the central one of the cylindrical semi-columns that continue towards the transversal arch with a pointed arch. The vaults of each span of the nave are cross-vaulted. The columns that support the triumphal arch (round-headed) have different capitals. The one on the right also has a lower triumphal arch attack: probably in the first post-siege reconstruction project by Barbarossa it was thought that the nave was lower than the current one. The windows of the central nave have for each span: at a lower level two single-lancet windows (fake women's galleries that actually overlook the attic of the side aisles); on the upper level a mullioned window that gives light to the interior.
Sanctuary of Saint Mary, Crema, Cremona, Lombardy, Italy, Europe
The Sanctuary of Saint Mary of the Cross is a Roman Catholic sanctuary and minor basilica in Crema, in the Cremona Province of Lombardy, Italy. The church was built in the Lombard Renaissance style about one and a half mile from city center, outside the medieval walls, on the road to Bergamo where a Marian apparition may have affected Caterina degli Uberti, a woman from Cremona. Legend holds that on 13 April 1490, after she was fatally wounded by her husband in a wooded area close to the town, and wishing to die in the Grace of God, she implored the help of the Virgin Mary who, it is said, ferried her to a nearby farmhouse. She was then moved inside the city walls where she died, after receiving the last rites and pardoning her husband. A simple wooden cross was placed where the murder came about. However prodigious phenomena continued to happen time and again transforming the site into a holy place to such an extent that the local authorities decided to build a sanctuary. Bramante made a model for the church, but the work was commissioned to his assistant Giovanni Battagio, who added the four outer circular structures. Battagio left the project around 1500, and was replaced by Giovanni Montanaro. The sanctuary, in an unfinished state, was damaged in the 1514 siege of the city by the Duchy of Milan. In 1694 the sanctuary was committed to the care of the Discalced Carmelites who, in 1706, began the construction of the annexed convent. In 1710 they also added a bell tower. In 1914 the original pavement, in cotto, was replaced with the current tiles. Santa Maria della Croce was named a minor basilica by Pope Pius XII in 1958. In recent years, the sanctuary was entrusted to the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Holy Spirit, a religious community of men who live a contemplative and apostolic life and currently serve also in Milan, Rome, and Sicily. Battagio designed a Greek cross plan, with a c. 35 m-tall central structure (circular externally, octagonal internally), to which four smaller units, with a height of some 15 m, are joined. The building's exterior consists of undecorated bricks. Externally the main central unit is divided into four rows, the lower having pilasters, the second a gallery with mullioned windows, while the third has triple arches forming double mullioned windows with decorated parapet. The original project for the uppermost gallery was modified by Montanaro along the lines of the Venetian gothic style; it has small columns, trefoil arches and a decorated parapet similar to that of the second gallery, with roundels in the shape of octagonal snowflakes, stars, sun rays and Greek crosses. The western side minor body houses the church's main entrance with a portal surmounted by a tympanum. The three other side bodies present analogous features. The upper part of the side bodies merges with the central loggia of the second row. The bell tower is decorated with rustication, and is divided into six levels, including the lantern at the top. One of the side bodies is built on two levels. In the lower level is the crypt and on the upper level the main altar, which comes from the city's cathedral and is highly decorated in lapis lazuli and bronze. The altarpiece is an oil on canvas by Benedetto Rusconi, nicknamed il Diana, depicting the Assumption of Mary among the twelve apostles. The presbytery has four statues of the Doctors of the Church, executed by Agostino de Fondulis. The side altars have a rich stucco decoration (1585) by Giovan Battista Castello. The altarpieces are by Antonio Campi, Bernardino Campi, and Carlo Urbino. Other artists active in the interior paintings and frescoes, include Benedetto Rusconi, Giovanni Battista Grandi, Aurelio Gatti, Angelo Bacchetta and the Torricelli brothers from Lugano. Internally the dome is decorated with the Mystic Visions of St. Therese of Avila by Giacomo Parravicino (1702).
Monza Cathedral, Monza Brianza, Lombardy, Italy, Europe
The Duomo of Monza often known in English as Monza Cathedral is the main religious building of Monza, near Milan, in northern Italy. Unlike most duomos it is not in fact a cathedral, as Monza has always been part of the Diocese of Milan, but is in the charge of an archpriest who has the right to certain episcopal vestments including the mitre and the ring. The church is also known as the Basilica of San Giovanni Battista from its dedication to John the Baptist. The church has a nave and two aisles, separated by octagonal columns with Romanesque capitals and round columns with Baroque capitals. It ends in large apses, and has a series of chapels opening into the aisles. The wall decoration is overwhelmingly Baroque. Other artworks include a choir by Matteo da Campione, the high altar by Andrea Appiani, and the presbytery and transept frescoes by Giuseppe Meda and Giuseppe Arcimboldi. In the right transept is the entrance to the Serpero Museum which houses the treasury with the Iron Crown of Lombardy, and the Late Antique ivory Poet and Muse diptych, of about 500, as well as an internationally important collection of late antique and early medieval works of various kinds, many deposited by Theodelinda herself. These includes small metal 6th century ampullae from the Holy Land which are evidence of the emerging iconography of medieval art, among them the earliest depictions of the treatments of the Crucifixion and Nativity of Jesus in art that were to become standard throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. Only Bobbio has an equivalent collection of ampullae. The library holds a number of old and important illuminated manuscripts. The massive west front is divided into five parts by six lisene (applied strips), each of which is surmounted by a tabernacle housing a statue. The façade has several mullioned windows with, in the centre, a large rose window framed by a motif inspired by Roman antique ceilings, decorated with rosettes, masks and star motifs. The façade is considered Romanesque in its structure and Gothic in its decoration[citation needed]. Typical of the latter is the porch, with 14th century gargoyles on the sides and the 13th century lunette with the 16th century busts of Theodelinda and King Agilulf. Over the porch is the statue of Saint John the Baptist (15th century). Over the portal is depicted the Baptism of Jesus, assisted by Saint Peter, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saint Zachary and Saint Paul. In the upper section is portrayed Theodelinda offering to John the Baptist the Iron Crown of Lombardy, together with her kneeling husband Agilulf and their children Adaloald and Gundeberga. Apart the Iron Crown, the most famous attraction of the church is the Chapel of Theodelinda. It has 15th-century frescoes from the Zavattari workshop depicting the stories of the queen's life, such as the dove episode, her marriage proposal, her meeting with her first husband, Authari, the latter's death in battle, and her new marriage with Agilulf. All the figures are portrayed with rich garments typical of the Visconti era. The vault is decorated with 14th century figures of saints and evangelists enthroned. On the outer arch are depicted Theodelinda with her court venerating Saint John the Baptist. An ancient and unusual privilege of the Duomo is its right to employ ceremonial armed guards, rather on the line of the Papal Swiss Guard at the Vatican. Known as Alabardieri from the halberds they carry, the date of their institution is described in a 1763 edict of Maria Theresa of Austria as 'immemorial'. Their eighteenth-century style uniform, of blue wool with gold braiding and a belt buckle with an image of the Iron Crown, is unchanged from that approved in the edict, except that since the Napoleonic period the bicorne hat has replaced the earlier tricorne. The basilica, which would in essence have been complete by 603 when heir to the Lombard throne Adaloald was baptised here by Secundus of Non, is believed to have been commissioned towards the end of the seventh century by the Lombard Queen of Italy, Theodelinda, as a royal chapel to serve the nearby palace. According to the legend she had made a vow to build a church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, and when riding along the banks of the Lambro River, she was halted by a dove who told her Modo (Latin for now), to which she replied Etiam (yes). Monza itself was initially known as Modoetia. In 595, she had a oraculum (chapel) built on the Greek Cross plan; of this chapel only the walls exist today. The queen was buried here, in what is now the central left aisle of the church. On the remains of the oraculum, a new church was erected in the 13th century. It was again rebuilt as a basilica, starting from 1300, on a Latin Cross plan with an octagonal tiburium. In the late 14th century, the side chapels were added and, as designed by Matteo da Campione, the Pisan-Gothic style west front in white and green marble was begun.

Spoleto Cathedral, Spoleto, Perugia, Umbria, Italy, Europe
Spoleto Cathedral is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Spoleto-Norcia created in 1821, previously that of the diocese of Spoleto, and the principal church of the Umbrian city of Spoleto, in Italy. It is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The church is essentially an example of Romanesque architecture, with a nave and two side-aisles crossed by a transept, although subsequently modified. It was built from the second half of the twelfth century after the city had been devastated by Frederick Barbarossa's troops, over an area where there had previously stood an earlier cathedral, dedicated to Saint Primianus (San Primiano) and destroyed by the emperor. A notable external porch and the belfry were added in the fifteenth and sixteenth century respectively. The façade is divided into three bands. The lower one has a fine architraved door with sculpted door-posts. Two pulpits are provided on each side of the porch. The upper bands are separated by rose windows and ogival arches. The most striking feature of the upper façade is the Byzantine-hieratic mosaic portraying Christ giving a Benediction, signed by one Solsternus (1207). He signed his work with the inscription Doctor Solsternus, hac summus in arte modernus (doctor Solsternus, supremely modern in his art ), calling himself an outstanding modern artist. Nothing else is known about him. He was certainly ahead of his contemporaries, because it would take half a century before the mosaics in Roman churches would surpass his style. The part of the belfry contemporary with the church reuses Roman and early medieval elements.
