In this essays the first part is dedicated to the description of the church of St. Clare, a masterpiece of the late baroque of the XVIII Century and consecrated by the bishop Niccolò Recco in the 1754.
In ancient times it was the abode of the poor clares.

Once entered inside this church, there is the altarpiece with the Immaculate Virgin (Michelangelo Bedini 1900) an angel made of plaster of the XVIII and capitulum of the same period.

In this church there are also a presbytery with the main altar made of marble.

On the right there is St. Joseph and St. Nichols from Tolentino.

This church is embellished with stucco decorations made of gold with the narration of the life of St. Francis.

The second essay was written by Massimo Papetti, he tells us the historical context of the sacred objects and of the wooden furniture.

The first part is dedicated to the eucharistic, promoted by St Francis and reinvigorated by the Council of Trent (Concilio Tridentino) of the 1545 - 1563 which confirmed the real presence of the body and the blood of Christ on the bread and wine.

For the art it was a sort of revolution now the artists were free to use their creativity on the creation of monstrance, chalices, tabernacles where at the centre there is the promotion of the eucharistic.

It followed the practice of the "40 hours" instituted in Milan by St. Anthony Zaccaria. where the Corpus of Christ is exposed for 40 hours inside a monstrance made of gold or silver.

The historical period was crucial for the survival dela Catholic Church, in order to demonstrate its superiority over the protestants.

The canons of that time was simply to impress the faithful with direct and simple messages.

At Ripatransone is preserved the tabernacle from the rectory of St. Nicholas made by the carpenter Picciono da Poggio di Bretta in the 1569 based on a design made by Ascanio Condivi the first biographer of Michelangelo Buonarroti

Today in this village there are seven churches, this imply that Ripatransone was extremely religious and Massimo explain in details the liturgical objects conserved inside the churches and in particular at the Sistine's Museum of Ripatransone, where it is also possible to read this collections of essays
