Casati is also the namesake of the Marchesa fashion house started by British designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. In 1900, she married Camillo, Marquess Casati Stampa di Soncino ( Muggiò, 12 August 1877 – Roma, 18 September 1946). The couple's only child, Cristina Casati Stampa di Soncino, was born the following year. The Casatis maintained separate residences for the duration of their marriage. They were legally separated in 1914. They remained married until his death in 1946. St. Francis de Sales is the patron of journalists because of the tracts and books he wrote, while Francis of Assisi, known for his protection of animals, is also the patron of lace and tapestry workers.

In May 2009, Karl Lagerfeld debuted his 2010 Cruise-wear collection on the Lido in Venice, for which Casati was once again a major muse. In February 2016, London based designer Omar Mansoor mused his autumn winter collection on Casati at London Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week.To this day there is the unusual blending of Brighid the ancient Goddess with the Saint and how typically Gaelic this is; this mixture of Christian and Old Celtic and pagan lore, exemplified in poetry like this: Is tu gleus na Mnatha Sithe,

Six months after James Garfield became president in 1881, Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed office-seeker, assassinated him. To prevent further political violence and to assuage public outrage, Congress passed the Pendleton Act in 1883, which set up the Civil Service Commission. Henceforth, applicants for most federal government jobs would have to pass an examination. Federal politicians' influence over bureaucratic appointments waned, and patronage declined as a national political issue. In a classic rags-to-riches story, Theodora rose from working as an actress—a low-class profession associated with prostitution—to shaping the nascent Byzantine empire, which spanned present-day Turkey, North Africa, and the Middle East. Theodora met Justinian, the emperor’s nephew, in Constantinople when she was 21. Despite her social status, the emperor was so enamored with her that he changed a law that would have prohibited their marriage. After ascending to the throne, Theodora used her authority to support sex workers’ rights and established anti-rape legislation. During her tenure, the empress also supported significant building projects that projected the couple and the empire’s dominance. One was the original Hagia Sophia, consecrated in 537. l­essons from Francesco Corbetta, the leading guitarist in Europe, and from Giovanni Baptista Draghi, the harpsichord player who composed the first setting of Dryden’s “Song for St. Cecilia’s Day, 1687.” Henry Purcell wrote the music for her wedding and for several later occasions at her small court. During the brief rule of her father, James II, she witnessed the flowering of a baroque court culture emulating French and Italian models; while recognizing the sophistication of the artworks promoted by James’s court, his enemies feared them as foreign and Catholic. The Revolution of 1688, which deposed him, brought in William and Mary, who established a court with a much more ascetic and hostile stance toward the arts. Disagreements about liturgical and secular music were a symptom of Anne’s strained relations with her sister, which eventually led to a complete estrangement. After Mary’s death, songs and poems in praise of Princess Anne were a medium for expressing dissatisfaction with King William. Anne’s letters of this period reveal her as a reader of poems and plays and a fan of popular songs; the players marked her visits to the theatre with special prologues and sometimes with special music. Prominent artists also celebrated William, Duke of Gloucester, her only child to survive infancy: Sir Godfrey Kneller painted him on several occasions; Purcell wrote the music for his sixth birthday party. When he died at eleven in 1700, poets from schools and universities devoted three large volumes to poems in Latin mourning the nation’s loss. During Anne’s reign as queen (1702–14), her devotion to her duties and her limited mobility kept her from attending theatrical and musical performances in the commercial theatres. On important occasions, however, she enjoyed plays and operas at court, New Year’s and birthday odes performed by her own musicians, and special church music sung at services of Thanksgiving for military victories in the War of the Spanish Succession. The arts flourished under her scepter: Sir John Vanbrugh designed Blenheim Palace, her gift to the Duke of Marlborough, and Christopher Wren finished St. Paul’s Cathedral; Alexander Pope published his astonishing early poems, Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe emerged as political journalists, Joseph Addison and Richard Steele established their influential journals, and Delarivier Manley wrote scandalous popular fictions; Kneller, Michael Dahl, and John Closterman painted portraits of the monarch and other prominent people; George Frideric Handel brought first-class Italian opera to London and wrote a beautiful birthday ode for the queen, who awarded him a generous pension. The causes of this cultural abundance were many: the lapse of the Licensing Act in 1695 made daily newspapers possible; the relative prosperity of the nation increased the audience for theatrical and musical entertainments; and partisan politics began to replace aristocratic patronage as a source of employment for artists. If the court was no longer the sole center of patronage, the queen played a crucial part in creating an environment in which artistic production could flourish. Kooiman, Jordi.

The wealthy, well-educated Gregory, who sold all of his possessions and became a Benedictine monk and missionary, and the first monk to be elected Pope, was a male patron saint of music, predating Cecilia . Why? He collected the melodies and chants so associated with him that they are now known as Gregorian Chants John

In 1925, the couple's daughter Cristina (1901–1953), married Francis John Clarence Westenra Plantagenet Hastings, known as Viscount Hastings and later the 16th Earl of Huntingdon; they had one child, Lady Moorea Hastings (4 March 1928 – 21 October 2011), and divorced in 1943. The following year the Viscountess Hastings married Wogan Philipps; that marriage produced no children.

That is, patrons operated as sponsors. Many languages [ citation needed] have terms for patrons (such as the English "mecenate") that are derived from the name of Gaius Maecenas, generous friend and adviser to the Roman Emperor Augustus. Some patrons, such as the Medici family of Florence, used artistic patronage to "cleanse" wealth that was perceived as ill-gotten through usury. Art patronage was especially important in the creation of religious art. The Roman Catholic Church and later Protestant groups sponsored art and architecture, as seen in churches, cathedrals, painting, sculpture and handicrafts. This is naturally beyond the scope of the average parish, but by establishing a good schola cantorum, such a parish participates in forming the next generation of church musicians who will then enter high school and university better trained and more conversant in church music than any other undergraduate church music students. It would prepare young Catholics to take the best places in the best institutions and offer them opportunities that would have a lasting effect on the liturgical life in our parishes. In the same manner as commercial patronage, those who attend a sporting event may be referred to as patrons, though the usage in much of the world is now considered archaic—with some notable exceptions. Those who attend the Masters Tournament, one of the four major championships of professional golf, are still traditionally referred to as "patrons," largely at the insistence of the Augusta National Golf Club. This insistence is occasionally made fun of by sportswriters and other media. [22] In polo, a "patron" is a person who puts together a team by hiring one or more professionals. The rest of the team may be amateurs, often including the patron themself. EVERAL YEARS AGO Duncan Stoik penned an essay entitled “A New Renaissance: The Church as Patroness of the Arts” ( Challenging the Secular Culture: A Call to Christians; Franciscan University Press: 2016), proposing a three-pronged initiative that the “Church as an institution, as well as individuals, can do to promote a culture of beauty, truth, and life.” I would have preferred his initiative to have been fleshed out in greater detail, but perhaps Stroik, ever the masterful architect, simply chose to lay a good foundation for others who might come after and wish to build upon it.
