==Main sights== Fabriano's wealth and commitment to the fine arts in the late medieval period have left it with many monuments. ===Churches=== *[[Fabriano Cathedral]], dedicated to San Venanzio ([[Venantius of Camerino|Saint Venantius]]) (14th century, rebuilt in 1607–17). From the Baroque restoration are the stucco decoration of the interior and the canvasses by [[Gregorio Preti]], [[Salvator Rosa]], [[Giovanni Francesco Guerrieri]], [[Giuseppe Puglia]] and [[Orazio Gentileschi]]. To the original Cathedral belong the polygonal apse, the cloister and the St Lawrence Chapel with frescoes by [[Allegretto di Nuzio]] (c. 1360). Also important are the frescoes with ''Stories of the True Cross'' by the [[Foligno|Folignate]] painter [[Giovanni di Corraduccio]] (1415). *[[San Filippo Neri, Fabriano|San Filippo Neri]] - Church in 14th century attached to hospital, converted to oratory of the Philippines in 1628<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=ZodX9S-tijQC Guida e statistica della città e Comune di Fabriano], (1874); page 163.</ref> *San Domenico *[[San Biagio and San Romualdo, Fabriano|Santi Biagio e Romualdo]]<ref>Guida, page 155-156.</ref> *[[Sant'Onofrio, Fabriano|Sant'Onofrio]] - Church rebuilt in 1727<ref>Guida, page 159.</ref> *The Benedictine Abbey *St Augustine *[[Santa Caterina da Siena, Fabriano|Santa Caterina da Siena]] - Present church erected 1508<ref>Guida, page 154.</ref> *Collegiata of St. Nicholas *Santa Maria del Piangato *St Benedict *Oratory of the Gonfalone<ref>Guida, page 154.</ref> ===Other buildings=== [[File:Fabriano.municipales 2007.jpg|thumb|240px|Palazzo del Podestà.]] *''Palazzo del Podestà'' (1255) built in white stone from Vallemontagnana and subsequently modified several times. It has a distinctive bridge structure, a memory of the stream which once flowed under it. The central arcade has frescoes from the 13th-14th centuries portraying warriors, and an enigmatic [[Rota Fortunae|Wheel of Fortune]] moved by a feminine figure. *Sturinalto Fountain (1285), designed by [[Jacopo di Grondolo]], who was inspired by the [[Fontana Maggiore, Perugia|Fontana Maggiore in Perugia]]. *Communal Palace (c. 1350, rebuilt in 1690). It was the residence of the Chiavelli family, lords of the city until 1435. In the courtyard is a ''lapidarium'' with fragments of buildings of the ancient Roman cities of ''Attidium'' ([[Attiggio]]), ''Tuficum'' ([[Borgo Tufico]]) and ''[[Sentinum]]'' ([[Sassoferrato]]). *[[:it:Pinacoteca Civica Bruno Malajoli|Pinacoteca Civica Bruno Malajoli]] displayed in the former Hospital (Spedale di Santa Maria del Buon Gesù) - The hospital was first built in 1456. The art collection of the Pinacoteca were moved here in 1994. The collection contains works by [[Rainaldetto di Ranuccio]] of Spoleto, [[Master of San Agostino]], [[Master of San Emiliano]], Master of the Magi ([[Fra Giovanni di Bartolomeo]]), [[Maestro dei Beati Becchetti]], [[Puccio di Simone]], [[Allegretto Nuzi]], [[Francescuccio di Cecco Ghissi]], [[Master of Fossato]], [[Master of San Verecondo]], [[Ottaviano Nelli]], [[Master of Staffolo]], [[Antonio da Fabriano]], [[Bicci di Lorenzo]], [[Neri di Bicci]]; [[Bernardino di Mariotto]], [[Filippo da Verona]], [[Venanzio da Camerino]] and [[Piergentile da Matelica]], [[Simone de Magistris]], [[Domiziano Domiziani]], [[Girolamo Nardini|Girolamo]] or [[Giacomo Nardini]], [[Andrea Boscoli]], [[Orazio Gentileschi]], [[Ambrogio Monaco]], [[Francesco Podesti]], and [[Gentile da Fabriano]]. *Loggiato of St. Francis (c. 1450) *Vasari Portico (1316) *[[Paper and Watermark Museum Fabriano]] *[[Villa Marchese del Grillo]]
