San Benedetto

San Benedetto is a church in Fabriano combining Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements throughout its stone structure and interior decoration. The interior features extensive pictorial work by artist Ulisse Ribustini, completed in 1924.

The current building replaced an earlier Benedictine structure from 1006, with extensive renovations undertaken in the 18th and 19th centuries by architect Virginio Vespignani. These renovations significantly transformed the structure from its medieval origins.

Artist Ulisse Ribustini created numerous pictorial decorations throughout the interior of San Benedetto, completing this extensive work in 1924.

The church is located at Piazza Fabi Altini 9 and welcomes visitors while serving as an active place of worship with regular services. It is best to visit during standard hours and be respectful of any ongoing religious activities.

The church contains specific architectural elements that distinguish it from the older San Benedetto vecchio, leading to its designation as San Benedetto nuovo.
