Fermo Cathedral

The Cathedral of Ripatransone was built between 1597 and 1623 by the architect Gaspare Guerra. The church underwent several extensions. After the construction of the dome (18th century), new works carried out in 1837-1842 restored the whole building, replacing the roof and the floor, completing the façade and creating a second sacristy. During the last restoration of the cathedral, which was completed on 15 May 1960, a mosaic with the coat of arms of the commissioning bishop, Monsignor Vincenzo Radicioni, was placed on the floor.

The cathedral of Montalto delle Marche was founded by Pope Sixtus V in 1586 and the existing church of Santa Maria ad collem was transformed into a temporary cathedral. The construction of a new, larger cathedral began on 30 May 1589 with the laying of the foundation stone: the architect of the initial plans was Girolamo Rainaldi. By the death of Pope Sixtus (1590), the crypt was almost finished, but there was still much to be done and the work took at least another century. At the end of the 17th century, the cathedral was made usable and services could begin in the new cathedral, although not yet completed.

The cathedral of Macerata has been known since the 10th century. Before the construction of the present cathedral, there was a small rural church dedicated to San Giuliano, built in 1022. Between the 14th and 15th centuries, a second building was erected next to the church, completed in 1478 with the construction of the bell tower, still visible today, in Flamboyant Gothic style. The two existing buildings were united to form a single neoclassical cathedral in 1771.
