San Vivaldo Monastery, Montaione
San Vivaldo Monastery is a Roman Catholic convent, church, and sanctuary complex located outside of the town of Montaione, region of Tuscany, Italy. The eighteen distinct chapels on this hill, putatively corresponding to sites of the Holy Land, and containing vivid polychrome statuary groupings recalling events of the New Testament, specially the Passion of Jesus, are one of the few examples of the Sacri Monti complexes in Tuscany. Sacri Monti are more characteristic expressions of veneration in the Piedmont and Lombardy. The convent still houses the franciscan order. History The origins of San Vivaldo date the 1325, when a chapel was built at the site where the blessed Vivaldo, a Franciscan tertiary, had recently died. Located in a rural hillside, outside the town, the former Hermitage (religious retreat), hermitage site soon collected a monastery; and in 1326 to 1355, a church was built.

Buildings And Structures Completed In 1355
A building or edifice is an enclosed structure with a roof, walls and windows, usually standing permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for numerous factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons. To better understand the concept, see ''Nonbuilding structure'' for contrast. Buildings serve several societal needs – occupancy, primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical separation of the human habitat (a place of comfort and safety) from the ''outside'' (a place that may be harsh and harmful at times). buildings have been objects or canvasses of much artistic expression. In recent years, interest in sustainable planning and building practi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Luca Della Robbia
Luca della Robbia (, also , ; 1399/1400–1482) was an Italian Renaissance sculptor from Florence. Della Robbia is noted for his colorful, tin-glazed terracotta statuary, a technique that he invented and passed on to his nephew Andrea della Robbia and great-nephews Giovanni della Robbia and Girolamo della Robbia. Although a leading sculptor in stone, after developing his technique in the early 1440s he worked primarily in terracotta. His large workshop produced both less expensive works cast from molds in multiple versions, and more expensive one-off individually modeled pieces. The vibrant, polychrome glazes made his creations both more durable and more expressive. His work is noted for its charm rather than the drama of the work of some of his contemporaries. Two of his famous works are ''The Nativity'' () and ''Madonna and Child'' (). In stone, his most famous work is also his first major commission, the choir gallery, ''Cantoria'' in the Florence Cathedral (1431–1438 ...

He was also known as Raffaello Capponi after his adoptive family.

Benedetto Buglioni
Benedetto Buglioni (1459/1460–1521) was an important Italian Renaissance sculptor specialised in Glazed architectural terra-cotta, glazed terracotta. Life and career He was born in Florence around 1461 as a son of another sculptor, Giovanni di Bernardo, and a Caterina. According to Giorgio Vasari, "from a woman, who came out of the house of Andrea della Robbia, he got the secret of glazed earthenware". Probably a young pupil in the workshop of Luca della Robbia and Andrea della Robbia, he moved away to take their technique outside Florence. The coat-of-arms of Pope Innocent VIII, datable to the years between 1484 and 1492, now in the Borgia rooms in the Vatican, can in fact be attributed to him, while the ''Descent of Christ in Limbo'', for Santa Maria dei Servi (Annunziata) in Florence, probably dates from the same period. This is perhaps his first work as an independent master: only a record in the books of the Servi convent from 1484 of it remains. In the early 1 ...
