Santa Chiara, Rimini

The church is best known for housing a venerated icon of the Madonna that has putatively moved its eyes for many believers.

[1] The main altarpiece is the venerated Madonna (1796) painted by Giuseppe Soleri Brancaleoni.

[3][4] The painting is now housed in a frame of gilded wood with angels holding a cornice of valuable stones and metals, donated to the church by August 1850 by Pope Pius IX.

Bilancioni painted the Glory in the apse of the main chapel and the chiaroscuro medallions with Prophets in the cupola.

In the larger chapel is a canvas depicting St Clare Scatters the Saracens by Angelo Sarzetti, and a Resurrection with Saints by Viviani, a pupil of Barocci.
