The Albergo san Domenico, our hotel, was then a 10 minute moderately steep walk . An immediate tour to the Oratorio di San Giovanni was a rewarding travel into another age to see the high place held by John the Baptist in the pre-reformation church.
In this remarkable early comic strip fresco of which I have captured only a part, the artist shows there is a lot of things going on besides the main story. In most frames a small dog is shown in various cavorting poses, and in the crucifixion frame below two boys are brawling under the cross, with one delivering a well-aimed kick to the other who is down.
The frescoes are byLoenzo & Jacopo Salimbeni completed in 1416
The thought crossed my mind that, now you've turned inland, you won't be heading to Ravenna. But after the amazing fresoes you've already seen, maybe there's no to go there!
