Sant'Agnese in Agone é uma igreja barroca do século XVII localizada em Roma, na Itália. Ela está de frente para a Piazza Navona, um dos principais espaços urbanos do centro histórico da cidade e é o local onde Santa Inês, a quem dedicada, foi martirizada, o antigo Estádio de Domiciano, cujo traçado ainda se percebe no formato da Piazza.
A reconstrução da igreja iniciou-se em 1652 sob ordens do papa Inocêncio X, cujo palácio, o Palazzo Pamphili, também dava de frente para a piazza e era vizinho ao local da nova igreja, que se tornaria para todos os efeitos uma capela da família anexa à residência). Para isso, uma abertura se abriu no domo para que eles pudessem participar dos serviços religiosos sem sair do palácio.
Diversos arquitetos se envolveram na construção da igreja, incluindo Girolamo Rainaldi e seu filho Carlo Rainaldi, e dois dos mais importantes arquitetos barrocos da época: Francesco Borromini e o escultor Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
O nome desta igreja não tem relação com a "agonia" da mártir: in agone era o antigo nome da Piazza Navona e significa, ao invés disso, "no local das competições" , pois a Piazza Navona foi construída no local de um antigo estádio romano de modelo grego utilizado para corridas a pé. De in agone, o uso popular e a pronúncia mudou o nome para "Navona", mas outras ruas da região mantiveram o nome original.
O cardeal-presbítero pro hac vice de Santa Inês em Agonia é Lorenzo Antonetti.
A Igreja de São Pantaleão é um edifício religioso situado no Campo San Pantalon, não muito longe do Campo Santa Margherita, no sestiere de Dorsoduro , pertencente ao patriarcado de Veneza. A última reconstrução foi feita em 1668, consagrando-se o edifício em 1745.
Pantalon é a denominação na língua véneta do nome de um santo mártir. O edifício é de origens antigas, mas ignora-se a data precisa da fundação. Em 1009, sendo doge de Veneza Ottone Orseolo, foi reconstruída pela família Giordani e posteriormente sofreu novas reformas e consagrações. A aparência actual deve-se à reconstrução iniciada em 1668 sobre projeto de Francesco Comino, quando a antiga igreja foi demolida por ser perigosa. foi inaugurada definitivamente em 1745, ano em que foi novamente consagrada pelo patriarca Alvise Foscari.
Enquanto centro paroquial, São Pantaleão está atualmente compreendida no Vicariato de San Polo-Santa Croce-Dorsoduro, parte do Patriarcado de Veneza. A circunscrição da paróquia era muito vasta, mas em 1810 reduziu-se bastante com a instituição das paróquias dos Frari e da Santa Maria dei Carmini, e com a ampliação da paróquia de São Nicolau de Tolentino.
A fachada ficou incompleta.

Roy Miles was a colourful London art dealer who was one of the first dealers to recognise the commercial potential of the art of the former Soviet block.Born Roy Marsh in Liverpool, Roy took his step-father's name of Miles and moved to London at an early age to work for an antique dealer. He quickly changed to hairdressing and owned a salon in London's West End. In the late 1960s he began in business as an art dealer.
Miles specialised first in British Victorian art and later toured the former Soviet Union buying Socialist Realist art that he sold for a huge markup. In the 1970s and 80s he was able to capitalise on the rising status of London as an art centre and his innate entrepreneurial skills and flair for self-publicity. Miles' parties at his various galleries became legendary social events, and Miles was associated with names such as Rudolf Nureyev, Edward Heath, Lord Forte, Raine Spencer, Ossie Clark, the Duke of Devonshire and Jonathan Aitken.Publicity material, correspondence, photographs, visitors' books and printed material from the Roy Miles Gallery c. 1973 to 1998 forms part of the collection of the Tate Gallery Archive.

The Peale Museum, officially the Municipal Museum of the City of Baltimore, was a museum of paintings and natural history, located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It occupied the first building in the Western Hemisphere to be designed and built specifically as a museum. The museum was created by Charles Willson Peale and his son Rembrandt Peale . It functioned separately as Baltimore City's historical museum while the original structure was being rebuilt, restored, and renovated in 1930–1931, and then merged with other historic sites, houses and museums in the early 1980s under the expansive efforts of a new executive director, with the name of the Baltimore City Life Museums and a broader mission in conjunction with the other historical locations/sites/structures in Baltimore.
After opening a new three-story exhibition gallery, uniquely using the old cast-iron façade of the razed Fava Fruit Company and being re-assembled on the new structure facing North Front Street and the parallel new President Street boulevard , the new gallery and the B.C.L.M. ran into financial difficulties in the first year after the grand opening, coincidentally during the bicentennial celebration of Baltimore's establishment as a city. The Peale branch of the City Life Museums closed with the other branches, historic houses and sites later in 1997, after being refused a one-year extension of its five-year subsidy of about $300,000 annually by then Mayor Kurt Schmoke. Its large collections from over 66 years of original existence were disassembled, transferred and handed over to the Maryland Historical Society, founded 1844, now located on the city block on the southwest corner of West Monument Street and Park Avenue, centered in the old Enoch Pratt Mansion and adjacent research library and museum exhibition areas building. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1965.Today, the museum is being renovated and relaunched as the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture through a partnership between Baltimore's Department of General Services, which owns the building, and the Board of the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture, a 501 tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. It is closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but anticipates re-opening soon.
