CHIOSTRO della Basilica di san Paolo Fuori le Mura The Cloister built by the Vassalletto family

CHIOSTRO della Basilica di san Paolo Fuori le Mura - The Cloister built by the Vassalletto family. The cloister was built 1208–1235 by the Vassalletti family. The arcades have coupled colonnettes of different forms, some round, some polygonal, some twisted and some intertwined. They, and the entablature they support, have Cosmatesque decoration. The inscription in the mosaics is a poem describing the importance of his cloister in the life of a monk, and its use as a place of meditation and study. A few small carved animals survive between the columns, although most of these have gone. On the north side it is worth looking for a carving of Adam and Eve flanking a tree with the serpent snaking up it.Modern scholars accept that the northern side of the cloister is by the Vassalletti and was completed after that at the Lateran, about 1227. (Wiki Fandom) (...) Accenni gotici si trovano nel chiostro di San Paolo, pure opera dei Vassalletto, almeno nella parte più recente. Presenta colonnine binate, lisce, ottagone, a spirale, ornate di musaici, con mostri sfingiformi tra le basi. Nel fregio corre un'iscrizione che incomincia con questi versi: Agmina sacra regit locus hic quem splendor honorat Hic studet atque legit monachorum cetus et orat Claustrales claudens claustrum de claudo vocatur. Nel lato senza iscrizione sono scene fantastiche rappresentanti soggetti mediceali, come il lupo che in veste di dottore ammaestra una capretta, il gallo che becca la serpe, la civetta assalita dagli uccelli (...) https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/... clopedia-Italiana)/
