Asolo Duomo
Asolo Duomo (''duomo di Asolo'') is the main church in the Italian city of Asolo. Its full title is the Provostorial and Collegiate Church of St Mary of the Assumption (''chiesa prepositurale e collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta''). It is a provostorial parish church and the seat of a vicariate of the diocese of Treviso. It was granted collegiate status in 1959, when it was granted an establishment of titular and honorary canons headed by a provost, who was also the parish priest. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Asolo was merged with Treviso in the 10th century. The current structure is mostly from the 15th, 18th and 19th centuries.

Asolo - Duomo - Facciata
Asolo () is a town and ''comune'' in the Veneto Region of northern Italy. It is known as "The Pearl of the province of Treviso", and also as "The City of a Hundred Horizons" for its mountain settings. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy"). History The town was originally a settlement of the Veneti, and was mentioned as Acelum in the works of Pliny. Its citizens were inscribed into the Roman tribe ''Claudia''. It was called Acelum in the acts of a synod held in Marano in 588 or 591, since one of the participants was ''Agnellus episcopus sanctae Acelinae ecclesiae''; the name Asolo was already in use by the time of a synod held in Mantua in 827 (or perhaps 835), at which the participation of ''Arthemius episcopus Asolensis'' is noted. In 969, Emperor Otto I assigned the territory of the diocese of Acelum/Asolo to the diocese of Treviso. This action may be related to the destruction caused by the Hungarian raiders who in 899 defeate ...

Provost (religion)
A provost is a senior official in a number of Christian denomination, Christian churches. Historical development The word (Latin for 'set over', from , 'to place in front') was originally applied to any ecclesiastical ruler or dignitary. It was soon more specifically applied to the immediate subordinate to the abbot of a monastery, or to the superior of a single Monk, cell, and it was defined as such in the Rule of St Benedict. The dean (Christianity), dean () was a similarly ranked official. Chrodegang of Metz adopted this usage from the Benedictines when he introduced the monastic organization of College (canon law), canon-law colleges, especially cathedral chapter, cathedral capitular colleges. The provostship () was normally held by the archdeacon, while the office of dean was held by the archpriest. In many colleges, the temporal duties of the archdeacons made it impossible for them to fulfil those of the provostship, and the headship of the chapter thus fell to the dean. ...

Vicar
A vicar (; Latin: '' vicarius'') is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting "in the person of" or agent for a superior (compare "vicarious" in the sense of "at second hand"). Linguistically, ''vicar'' is cognate with the English prefix "vice", similarly meaning "deputy". It also refers to a senior priest in the Church of England. The title appears in a number of Christian ecclesiastical contexts, but also as an administrative title, or title modifier, in the Roman Empire. In addition, in the Holy Roman Empire, a local representative of the emperor, such as an archduke, could be styled " vicar". Catholic Church The Pope bears the title vicar of Christ (Latin: ''Vicarius Christi''). In Catholic canon law, ''a vicar is the representative of any ecclesiastic'' entity. The Romans had used the term to describe officials subordinate to the praetorian prefects. In the early Christian churches, bishops likewise had their vicars, such as the archdeacons and archpriests, ...

Diocese Of Treviso
The Diocese of Treviso () is Latin Church ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Catholic Church in the Veneto, Italy. It is a suffragan diocese in the ecclesiastical province of the metropolitan Patriarchate of Venice. History Treviso probably was Christianized from Aquileia. The bishops of Treviso who participated, along with all of the other bishops of the ecclesiastical province of Aquileia, in the schism of the Three Chapters were: Felix; Rusticus, present at the pseudo-synodus Maranensis (589); and Felix II, who signed the petition to the Emperor Maurice (591). Through the intercession of the elder Bishop Felix, the first bishop for whom there is authentic evidence, the city of Treviso was spared during the Lombard invasion of King Alboin (569) and became the seat of a duchy. Charlemagne made the duchy a marquisate, extending from Belluno to Ceneda, and from the Adige to the Tagliamento. In 922 Treviso, which was under episcopal jurisdiction, was sacked by the Hun ...

Asolo Altarpiece
The ''Asolo Altarpiece'' is a 1506 oil-on-panel altarpiece, measuring 175 x 162 cm, by the Italian Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto. For a long time it was displayed in the Santa Caterina Oratory in Asolo but it is thought to have originally been painted for the Battuti confraternity's side-chapel in Asolo Duomo, where it now hangs. It is signed "Laurent usLotus / Junio M.D.VI" on a cartouche in the lower centre. It dates to the end of his time in Treviso. It shows a vision of the Assumption of Mary, shown as an old woman being taken up to heaven in a mandorla of light accompanied by four small angels. Her face may be based on that of Caterina Cornaro, who at that time headed a lively court full of artists and writers in Asolo. If this is correct, she may have commissioned it or it may have been commissioned by someone wishing to praise her. Witnessing the vision are Antony the Great to the left and Louis of Toulouse to the right – the Battuti ran a hospital for the poor and ...

Lorenzo Lotto
Lorenzo Lotto (c. 1480 – 1556/57) was an Italian Renaissance painter, draughtsman, and illustrator, traditionally placed in the Venetian school, though much of his career was spent in other north Italian cities. He painted mainly altarpieces, religious subjects and portraits. He was active during the High Renaissance and the first half of the Mannerist period, but his work maintained a generally similar High Renaissance style throughout his career, although his nervous and eccentric posings and distortions represented a transitional stage to the Florentine and Roman Mannerists. Overview During his lifetime Lotto was a well-respected painter and certainly popular in Northern Italy; he is traditionally included in the Venetian School, but his independent career actually places him outside the Venetian art scene. He was certainly not as highly regarded in Venice as in the other towns where he worked, for he had a stylistic individuality, even an idiosyncratic style (although ...
