Urbino
Urbino , town (1991 pop. 15,114), in the Marche, central Italy. It is an agricultural and tourist center, located on the site of a former Roman community. The town flourished under the Montefeltro family (12th-16th cent.) and then under the Della Rovere family (1508-1631), before coming under the papacy. The court of Federigo da Montefeltro, 2d duke of Urbino (1444-82), was a great artistic center during the Renaissance. Urbino was particularly noted for its school of painting (15th-17th cent.) and for the manufacture of majolica ware. The splendid Palazzo Ducale (1444-82) today houses a major museum, with paintings by Raphael (born in the town), Titian, Piero della Francesca, and others. Also of interest are St. John's Oratory and Raphael's house (now a museum).
