Cardinals wearing galeri (broad-brimmed hats with tassels) and a kneeling, praying, tonsured monk. Detail of Late Medieval fresco within the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta (Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady) at Bolzano / Bozen, South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
Bolzano / Bozen, South Tyrol, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy: seated Roman Catholic cardinals wearing scarlet galeri (broad-brimmed hats with tassels) converse and gesture towards a kneeling, praying, tonsured monk in this detail of a faded Late Medieval fresco within the Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta (Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady). Many wall paintings in the cathedral suffered from decades of 19th century neglect and damage from World War II Allied bombing, but still demonstrate the regional and local evolution of figurative art in the 14th and 15th centuries. While some early 14th century frescoes in the Duomo are in the Gothic linear tradition, later works show innovation in their composition and in the more natural way in which people are depicted. Some show the strong influence of Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337), the Florentine painter known simply as Giotto, and were probably painted by his pupils or followers. The cathedral, known to German-speaking Roman Catholics as Dompfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt, stands on the site of an early Christian basilica. It was enlarged in Romanesque style before gaining a Gothic appearance between 1380 and 1420.
