Palazzo della Ragione, bottom wall, Virgin Mary

Palazzo del podestà

Palazzo del podestà

On the right side of the gable we can see Virgin Mary on the throne holding baby Jesus, seen frontally, in her arms. She is surrounded by two flying angels, by Saint Peter and by other three figures, perhaps one of them is Saint Andrew, and by a hermit monk without the halo, probably Giovanni Bono. There is therefore a second reduplication in the high section compared to the low section: beyond the signature of the author, here we have the representation of the pious man who was an important personality of the city. Under the image of the Virgin Mary on the throne, we can see writing, a prayer for the Virgin Mary. From an iconographic point of view, but also considering the style, the meaning of this fresco is very different from the one of the Last Judgement, although the first one completes the second one.
