Between the climax of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Baroque is the style period called Manierism. Colours and movement combined with the artistic inventions of the Renaissance typify the Art works of that period.

The excursions bring you to the holy city of Loreto, where the small native house from Maria is kept within the famous Basilica by Bramante. The Venetian artist Lorenzo Lotto, contemporary of Michelangelo, painted for the monastery of Loreto his last masterpieces, that are there exposed in the Papal Palace. Next to that we go to the treasure-chamber of the Basilica, that has a wonderful ceiling with fresco's of Pomarancio, one of Le Marche's major artists.

In the medieval town Caldarola, you will go to see the paintings of the brothers De Magistris, followers of Lorenzo Lotto, in the church of S.Martino and also at the 12th Century Castello Pallotta, that the De Magistris decorated with fresco's at the end of the 16th Century.
