In the center of Piazza Roma, on a podium formed by two steps, stands the base of overlapping stone ashlars. The central band of the main front of the base bears the dedicatory inscription. Symmetrically, on the opposite side, the coat of arms of the municipality is sculpted, in the center of a garland. Above, on a travertine pedestal decorated with dentils, stands the bronze statue, personification of the Fatherland, dressed in a tunic and armed. The gaze is slightly turned to the right, the right leg in front of the left. The arms stretched along the body hold a club and embrace the shield. The head is uncovered and adorned with a band that holds the hair (c) https://catalogo.beniculturali.it/detail/HistoricOrArtisticProperty/1100264225

The Sanctuary of Santa Maria della Carità is commonly called by the citizens of Ascoli with the name of Church of the Scopa, from the name of the Confraternity of the Disciplinati, faithful who during the processions used to beat each other with broom-shaped whips which were also used to collect the grain sold in the square from the ground. The original building dated back to the 14th century, then in 1532 it underwent important works and modifications by Cola dell’Amatrice and the Ascoli Count Conti and these renovations continued for about a century when a more exuberant style had established itself, the imprint of which is evident inside with paintings and stuccoes of considerable interest. One of the best works of Cola is considered to be the facade of this sanctuary with its four elegant fluted Corinthian pilasters, concluded by capitals worked with olive leaves that rest on solid pedestals, with a continuous trabeation. The design of the attic is attributed to the Ascoli native Conte Conti, while that of the three doors on the façade is the work of Antonio Giosafatti. The unique onion-shaped bell tower dates back to the end of the 17th century. The interior of the church has a single nave, adorned with elegant 17th-century decorations with flying figures and cherubs in Baroque style. On the high altar we find a precious Nativity, the work of Girolamo Buratti. In the side chapels there were works by Simone De Magistris, the Annunciation by Guido Reni which is now located in the Pinacoteca Comunale, a canvas by the Venetian Pier Gaya depicting Sant’Emidio consecrated bishop by Pope San Marcello. Attached to the church we find the Oratory of the Misericordia whose members had the task of spiritually assisting the condemned of the place until their death.

Emidio was born in Trier, Germany, in 273 to a noble pagan family. His conversion to Christianity occurred thanks to the preaching of the saints Nazario and Celso: he became a catechumen, was baptized and devoted himself to the study of the Holy Scriptures. Having come into conflict with his family who tried in every way to bring him back to paganism, he left for Italy together with his three friends Euplo, Germano and Valentino. Upon arriving in Milan he was ordained a priest. Following the persecution of Diocletian he had to flee to Rome where he found refuge with a certain Graziano. Here many miraculous healings were attributed to him. The fame of the priest soon aroused the interest of Pope Marcellinus who ordained Emidio bishop of Ascoli and Euplo deacon, and entrusted them with the difficult mission of spreading Christianity in the important Piceno center (still almost completely pagan). In Ascoli, the prefect was Polimio, the author of harsh repressions against Christians, who immediately ordered Emidio not to preach the good news, an order that was completely ignored. Emidio also worked hard in Ascoli to heal the sick, which allowed him to convert a large number of Ascoli people. Polimio believed him to be the reincarnation of the god Aesculapius, and asked him to offer sacrifices to the gods, promising him his daughter Polisia in marriage. The Saint not only refused, but even converted Polisia to the Christian faith and baptized her in the waters of the Tronto river. Polimio, warned of this, ordered the arrest of Emidio and sentenced him to capital punishment. The bishop did not hide and was beheaded while Polisia, sought out by her father, fled to Mount Ascensione and disappeared into a crevasse. The feast of Sant’Emidio, patron saint of Ascoli Piceno, is August 5. His remains are preserved in the underground crypt of the Cathedral of Ascoli Piceno.

The sanctuary of the Ss. Crocifisso dell'Icona was originally dedicated to S. Maria delle Grazie and it is significant that even today there is a detached fresco of the Madonna with Child (Icon) on the high altar. Also dedicated to the Virgin is the Madonna of Loreto and S. Nicola di Bari, a work attributed to Sebastiano Ghezzi. However, since the early seventeenth century the polychrome wooden Crucifix (of uncertain authorship) placed inside a baroque altar has been venerated there, and this cult has changed the declination of the sanctuary. The current church was built in the mid-sixteenth century, but was radically remodeled at the end of the seventeenth century and, again, in 1780. The reconstruction of the façade, dome and side chapels is due to Lazzaro Giosafatti. The altarpiece depicting the Translation of the Holy House of Loreto and S. Nicola da Bari, oil on canvas attributed to the Venetian Pietro Gaia. (c) https://eventi.turismo.marche.it/it-it/Cosa-vedere/Attrazioni/Chiesa-del-SS-Crocifisso-dell-Icona/484

The church was begun in 1280 by the Dominican order, in memory of the visit of friar Pietro da Verona to Ascoli in 1250. Construction continued until the 16th century. The facade of travertine blocks has three rounded oculi and a single portal with two flanking columns extending from a rounded pediment.

This 16th-century public washhouse, partly renovated in 1905, is fed by water that, according to pious legend, was miraculously made to flow by Sant’Emidio to baptize the Christians of Ascoli. In the Middle Ages, the water was also used to purify the dyed clothes in the nearby workshops.
