Forum Novum (later also called Vescovìo) was a new Roman foundation which developed as a forum or market center during the Roman Republic period. By the early 1st century AD Forum Novum had been elevated to the status of municipium, appearing as such in Pliny's list of towns. It is located within today’s commune of Torri in Sabina in the province of Rieti.Knowledge of the history of the centre comes largely from literary sources and the rich epigraphic evidence. Forum Novum seems to have functioned throughout the imperial period and a market was still being held at the center in the fourth century. Although urban life probably underwent a decline around this period, Forum Novum, later Vescovio, continued to act as a local and regional focus with the establishment of a bishopric in the fifth century, a role it maintained throughout the early medieval and medieval periods; it remains a titular see in the Catholic Church today. Little systematic archaeological work has been carried out on the centre or its valley. Excavations carried out by the Soprintendenza Archeologica per il Lazio in the late 1970s and early 80s revealed the basilica, a temple complex, part of the forum and various associated buildings of uncertain function. The results have never been fully published.

Santa Brigida refers to the Roman Catholic church and former Ursuline convent located on Piazza Mazzini in the town of Calvi dell'Umbria, province of Terni, region of Umbria, Italy. The convent now functions as the Museo del Monastero delle Suore Orsoline displaying religious works and exhibits about the former life of the Ursuline nuns in the convent. The baroque-style church standing alongside was built during 1739-1743 using a design by the then papal architect Ferdinando Fuga. The project aimed to enlarge the church of the convent. The site previously contained a medieval church of San Paolo and an Oratory of San Antonio. The two former structures, still evident in the stone around the portals and housing walled up oculi, were hidden behind the tall bipartite facade with giant order pilasters and an unusual tympanum. The tympanum recalls the church of the Babino Gesu all'Esquilino in Rome (now belonging to The Oblate Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus). The Roman church was completed in 1713 with a contribution also by Fuga. The interior has three altars and in the apse, are wooden choir stalls. The second story has a number of Wooden screens behind which could sit the cloistered nuns. The church contains altarpieces depicting the Virgin and Child between Saints Brigida and Ursula by Francesco Appiani and a canvas depicting Pentecost circa 1520) by Jacovetti da Calvi. The latter painting was moved here from the church of San Francesco.The nuns inhabited the monastery until 1994. Some of the original furniture, the kitchens and other portions of the monastery are now open to guided visits.
