a great event
a tableau (combination of 3-dimensional statues and wall frescoes by Antonio Busca) depicting the canonization of St.Francis by Pope Gregory IX . All the twenty chapels on the world heritage site of Sacro Monte di Orta in Italy have centuries-old tableaux like this portraying moments in the life of the saint but the one here is probably the grandest of them all as there ambassadors of kings and princes, cardinals and bishops too. Seen through the metal gates of the Chapel No.20, the final chapel in the sequential tour.
