Offida. Collegiate Church of S. Maria Assunta
Collegiate Church. Built between 1785 and 1798 by the Ticino architect Pietro Maggi, who substituted and profoundly changed the design by Ascoli Lazzaro Giosafatti; it has a neoclassical Louis XVI interior and a facade built only at the end of the nineteenth century in an eclectic style of brick and travertine. Inside, among other things, there is a thirteenth-century wooden casket with 26 ivory figurines of northern art, a fourteenth-century processional cross, a fifteenth-century reliquary, a sixteenth-century wooden group, a wooden crucifix by Desiderio Bonfini (1612) , paintings of the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries (Crivellesque school and school of Pietro Alemanno). The choir carved with twisted columns and mirrors in Verona briar with two orders of 14 stalls was built by Alessio Donati for the church of Santa Maria della Rocca but was transferred in 1794 to the Collegiate, together with the relics of San Leonardo di Noblac preserved in a urn placed inside the main altar, also in wood. On 12 November 1994 the body of Blessed Corrado da Offida was placed in the third altar on the left, solemnly moved from Perugia, where it had been kept in the now no longer consecrated Church of San Francesco al Prato. The church, despite the distance, was affected by the strong earthquake that occurred in L'Aquila on 6 April 2009: in fact, on the day of the earthquake some pieces of plaster fell off the bell tower.

Ascoli Piceno. The Church of San Francesco
This church is considered one of the best Italian works of Franciscan architecture, as well as the most representative Franciscan religious building in the Marche region. It was begun with the adjoining convent in 1258, consecrated in 1371 and completed with the dome in the 16th century. On the main facade, in Via del Trivio, there are three Gothic portals, while the right side acts as a scenic backdrop to the Piazza del Popolo and is characterized by the dynamic fifteenth-century apses, the fourteenth-century side portal surmounted by the monument to Julius II of 1510 and ends with an apsidal group of rare architectural model.
