03 BSC 110TITLE: “Semplice come colomba”: beato Benedetto Passionei da Urbino.

“Semplice come colomba”: beato Benedetto Passionei da Urbino (trans. “Simple as a dove”: blessed Benedetto Passionei of Urbino”). Study conference one hundred and fifty years after his beatification 1867-2017 Fossombrone, 23 September 2017, edited by Aleksander Horowski (Bibliotheca seraphico-capuccina, 110). Rome 2020. 422 pgs. Ill. ISBN 978-88-99702-20-5

This volume is a collection from the proceedings of a 2017 study conference, organized by the Capuchins of the Province of the Marches and by the Capuchin Historical Institute in Rome one hundred and fifty years after the 1867 beatification of Benedetto da Urbino (1560-1625), born Marco Passionei. Among the contributions are the 57 postulatory letters addressed to Pope Pius VI by various ecclesiastical and civil authorities. A precious discovery consists in the edition of a handwritten genealogy of the House of Passionei. The research likewise illustrates the architectural transformations of the church and convent of Fossombrone, where the mortal remains of this Capuchin from Urbino rest (including the plans, drawings and archive photographs). It also addresses the history of the beatification process and its political, social, cultural and religious context, as well as outlining the very first diffusion of the veneration of Benedetto Passionei in Germany and Austria. Finally, some aspects of his iconography are explored.
