Urbino - San Bernardino


The city, once known as Urbinum Mataurense, was a stronghold during the Gothic Wars in the 6th century. In 538 it was conquered by the Ostrogoths through the Byzantine general Belisarius.
Pepin the Short gave Urbino to the papacy in 754.The town was later somewhat independent until about 1200 when it became the property of the House of Montefeltro. They obtained the office of Podesta in 1213, but the population rebelled and allied with the municipality of Rimini (1228), which finally regained its independence in 1234. However, the nobles of Montefeltro eventually took control again and kept it until 1508. In the battles between the Guelfs and the Ghibellines, when the factions supported either the papacy or the Holy Roman Empire, the Montefeltro lords of Urbino were the leaders of the Ghibellines in Marche in the 13th and 14th centuries.
This almost completely preserved Renaissance city acquired essential parts of its current appearance in the 15th century, under the rule of Duke Federico da Montefeltro, who wanted to build an "ideal city" with Urbino.
San Bernardino is a Franciscan church located on a hill about 2,5 km outside Urbino.
The church was built between 1482 and 1491 by order of Federico da Montefeltro as a ducal mausoleum. The execution of the work is today attributed to the architect Francesco di Giorgio Martini, who was assisted by the young and promising Donato Bramante. The building has an architectural clarity typical of the Renaissance in Urbino.
The church was damaged by an earthquake in 1741.
