Lorenzo d'Alessandro

Lorenzo d’Alessandro (San Severino Marche c1455–1503) was an Italian painter and interpreter of late gothic style.

The artistic heritage of the school salimbenian inherited his style from Salimbeni brothers and influenced another important local painter, Niccolò Di Liberatore, also known as “L'Alunno” (from Foligno, who lived two years in San Severino and painted there a polyptych signed in 1468).

Macerata railway station

On 24 December 1888, the station became a through station, when the final section of the Civitanova–Fabriano railway was completed, between Macerata and San Severino Marche.

Salimbeni

The artistic careers of Lorenzo Salimbeni (San Severino Marche 1374-c1418) and Jacopo Salimbeni (c.1370/80-after 1426) brothers spanned in both relatively narrow area and short time, from the triptych painting of the altarpiece of the Mystical Marriage by Lorenzo alone in 1400 (Pinacoteca Civica, San Severino) to the frescoes of the Crucifixion and Scenes from the Life of St John the Baptist in the Oratory of San Giovanni, Urbino, in 1416.

However, the major part of their work is to be found in churches in and around their home town, San Severino Marche.

Salimbeni Prize

The Salimbeni Prize (Il Premio Salimbeni per la Storia e la Critica d'Arte) is awarded by the Fondazione Salimbeni per le Arti Figurative of San Severino Marche to honour excellence in the writing of art history on an Italian subject.
