BASILICA SAN LORENZO MAGGIORE TIP
Museo San Lorenzo Maggiore
Museum has five effigies of the knights in full suits of armor. All those effigies decorated the sepulchers of local military aristocracy and showed the figures of deceased, buried in the church of San Lorenzo Maggiore. Three figures are showing unknown knights. Inscription on one of five effigies says it belonged to Giovanni Caputo who died in 1487. In fact Giovanni Caputo couldn't use such suit of armor because it is typical for first half of XIV century and in second half of XV all west European knights wore full plate gothic armors of absolutely different type. I believe the real reason for such confusion as very natural. Sometimes relatives of deceased couldn't pay for already produced sepulcher. That means unpaid sepulcher usually stayed, sometimes for many decades in the workshop until poor gentry families who had no enough money to pay for brand new sepulcher could buy old one for cheaper price. Master just carved or re-carved new name on the stone. Another effigy situated under the icon of San Francesco with Franciscan Brothers and Claris Nuns belonged to sepulcher of two brothers Giovanni (died in 1356) and Giacomo (died in 1383) Barile. We cannot say definitely whose effigy is this but probably it shows Giovanni Barile because such armors were no longer in use after 1360s. All five effigies show us the knights in armor typical for the first half of XIV century and their armors consist of chain mail hauberks and chain mail hoses. Defense of their shins reinforced by iron or leather grieves. Defense of upper hands and shoulders are reinforced with rearbraces and round pauldrons made out of boiled leather also known in French as "cuir bouilli". One knight has pauldrons made in form of Lion's mugs. Elbows are additionally protected by iron roundels.
