Frescoes dating from 1972 by Tuscan artist Luciano Bartoli (1948 - 1994) in the parish church at Issogne, Val d’Aosta, Italy, the Chiesa Parrocchiale di Santa Maria Assunta. Biblical scenes include an angel blowing a trumpet above the resurrection of the dead (centre). According to Corinthians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible: “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
