San Francesco, Pievebovigliana

San Francesco is a Roman Catholic church and convent located inside the town of Pievebovigliana, province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy.

History

The church was erected in 14th century, but along with the adjacent convent, underwent many reconstructions. Beyond the apse rises a belltower. The church has corner buttresses and has a trussed wooden roof, and has a 19th-century copy of the venerated Crucifix of San Damiano di Assisi. Tradition holds that this church once held the original, but that it was destroyed by a fire in 1892. The church has a single nave with lateral altars. Restorations in the 20th century uncovered frescoes in the apse and nave walls attributed to Cola di Pietro. A fresco depicting the Madonna della Misericordia is attributed to Girolamo Di Giovanni di Camerino.[1]

He was interested in getting to Alderaan quickly because he had an urgent message to deliver. The Kessel Run being made in 12 parsecs demonstrates that the Falcon is capable of shaving off a significant amount of distance (and therefore, more than likely, time) travelled in Hyperspace, which was exactly what Obi-wan and Luke needed at the time.```

gollark: Yes, which is quite limiting vs OpenCL, which is basically the same but cross-platform.
