Cagli Cathedral (
minor basilica in 1982.[1]
History
Construction of a cathedral on the site began in 1292, and was not complete until the early 15th century. The structure as seen today was rebuilt in 1646. It still has a rounded apse, and buttresses along the nave. The Gothic portal (1413) of the previous church was retained.[2]
Artworks
The interior houses canvases by a number of prominent artists. In the second chapel on the south nave are paintings of 1758 depicting Sant'Andrea Avellino, Communion of the Apostles and the Gathering of Manna by
Medicis of Florence and painted by a member of the Nasini
family. In the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament are two further canvases (1754 and 1756) by Gaetano Lapis.
In the north nave is an Annunciation, a copy of a painting by
Giuliano Persciutti of Fano (though perhaps by Dionigi of Cagli). There is a 17th-century representation of the Eternal Father by the local artist Giambattista Gambarini in the tympanum above the altar. The organ was built by Nicola Morettini
in 1889.
