St. Gertrude's Chapel. I chapel on the left

The other great master who gave a turning point to sixteenth-century painting not only in Italy, harbinger of great future developments: F. Mazzola, Parmigianino (1503-1540), to whom Vasari (1568) referred seven chapels. Thanks to the restorations (Castrichini 2004, 2008) with the recovery of unpublished pieces it was possible to add to its catalog some frescoes of the third and fifth chapel on the left (Miracle of the healing of the cripple), which accompany those in the arch of the first (1522) , with the Martyrdom of Santa Susanna on the left, the Eternal in glory in the center, and the Saints Lucia and Apollonia, on the right. In the lower surface, festoon of flowers and fruit with bucrani and putti. In the second chapel on the left (1522-1523), Saint Lawrence and Saint Stephen (left wall), San Vitale with a rearing horse (right wall), putti, animals and various objects (central area) and the monochrome decoration with trophies and grotesques of the outer belt. In the contemporary fourth on the left, formerly Zangrandi, now Borri, with St. Nicholas of Bari and St. Hilary of Poitiers. This is where Parmigianino’s artistic training takes place, which, at the beginning of his career, was inspired by Correggio’s ductus, also active in the church of Saint John.
