San Giacomo, Pesaro
San Giacomo is a church located on Piazza Olivieri in central Pesaro, region of Marche, Italy.
History[]
The present church owes its layout to a 17th-century baroque-style reconstruction of a prior 15th-century church. The reconstruction re oriented the church in an opposite direction. One remnant of the prior church is a fresco fragment in the belltower of the Madonna della Pace. The present façade was designed in 1825 in Neoclassical style by . The interior contains canvases by Agostino Castellaci and Pietro Tedeschi; and a funeral monument of Count Annibale Olivieri, designed by the architect Giannandrea Lazzarini and provided with sculptures by the sculptor Sebastiano Pantanelli.[1]
An inventory from 1864 lists the main altarpiece as an Enthroned Madonna with Angels in the style of Giovanni Sanzio.[2]
