Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EUD-FAT
FABRIANO , a town of the Marches, Italy, in the province of Ancona, from which it is 44 M. S.W. by
rail
 , 1o66 ft. above sea-level. Pop. (1901) town 9586, commune 22,996. It has been noted since the 13th
century
  for its
paper
  mills, which still produce the best
paper
  in Italy. A school of
painting
  arose here, one of the early masters of which is Allegretto Nuzi (13081385) ; and several of the churches contain works by him and other Iocal masters. His pupil, Gentile da Fabriano (1370-1428), was a painter of considerably greater skill and wider knowledge; but there are no important works of his at Fabriano. The sacristy of S. Agostino also contains some good frescoes by Ottaviano Nelli of Gubbio. The municipal picture gallery contains a collection of pictures, and among them are some primitive frescoes, attributable to the 12th
century
 , which still retain traces of
Byzantine
 
influence
 . The Archivio Comunale contains documents on watermarked paper of local manufacture going back to the 13th century. The Ponte dell' Acra, a
bridge
  of the 15th century, is noticeable for the ingenuity and strength of its construction. The
hospital
 
    See Also:
of S. Maria Buon Gesu is a fine
work
  of 1456, attributed to Rossellino.
