San Domenico, San Severino Marche

This Dominican church and adjacent convent were built in the first half of the 13th century, with a number of subsequent refurbishments, including a major one in 1664 to which it owes to its present layout.

In the cloister of the convent are frescoed lunettes, attributed to Sebastiano Ghezzi and Ludovico Lazzarelli.

From the presbytery one can access the base of the bell-tower with a cycle of 15th-century frescoes depicting the Life of St Catherine by unknown Emilian painters.

In the transept are gilded and carved wood altars: one has a 17th-century altarpiece of the Pentecost by an unknown Bolognese painter.

Another chapel with baroque decor, has a canvas by Biagio Puccini depicting the Incredulity of St Thomas.
