Medieval frescoes in Trentino. The Church of San Pietro in Bosco in Ala

Edited by Claudio Strocchi. Superintendence for Historical and Artistic Heritage. Autonomous Province of Trento, 2011.

Description

This Notebook of the Superintendence for Historical and Artistic Heritage, edited by Claudio Strocchi with contributions by Egidio Arlango, Emanuele Curzel and Stefano Volpin, is a valuable tool for learning about the value of a small building, the Church of San Pietro in Bosco in Ala, which for centuries has stood on the edge of the ancient imperial road, guardian of Romanesque paintings and fourteenth-century frescoes. The texts and many images, including comparative ones, bear witness to the work carried out on the materials to ensure the conservation of the building and the technical-scientific analyses of its artistic heritage. Interesting is the introductory miscellany with 19th-century bricks and mortar that reveal the complexity of this small but "great" cultural asset and the documentary appendix with ancient traditions, the legend of Theodolinda, wife of Autari king of the Lombards, and the Book of Counts.
