Convent of Cappuccini Friars
Via Cappuccini, 341
47521 Cesena (FC)
Description
The convent lies on a hill, just outside the town centre, and is
reachable by a nice walk. Its history is relatively short: built in 1559
and enlarged in 1616, it lived a number of bad adventures after 1796,
just when Pope Pious VI have ordered its reconstruction. The church
hosts the important 'St Francesco who gets stigmate' (1646 ca.)
Moreover, 'The Arcangel Gabriel and the Assumpted Vergin' (1693-94),
among the few works by Marco Maria Lascari from Cesena.
