Santa Maria della Pietà in Telusiano, Monte San Giusto

Santa Maria della Pietà in Telusiano is a Renaissance-style Roman Catholic church located on Via Tolomei in Monte San Giusto, province of Macerata, in the region of Marche, Italy.

A church at the site existed since the 15th century, it underwent reconstruction began in 1513, and it was reconsecrated in 1529 under the patronage of the bishop of Chiusi, Nicolò Bonafede.

The walls still retain some of the 16th-century frescoed lunettes attributed to one of Lotto's students, Durante Nobili of Caldarola, and a late 17th-century copy of the Madonna of Trapani by Nino Pisano; and under the main altar, a 15th-century Northern European Vesperbild (or Pietà).

[2] However, the most prominent feature of the church, and the most commonly visited tourist attraction in the town, is the main altarpiece: a Crucifixion (circa 1529-1530) by Lorenzo Lotto.

The work was commissioned by Bishop Bonafede for the church, painted mainly in Venice, and completed in situ in the present frame circa 1534.
