The latter is characterized by rich symbolism, phytomorphic decorations (i.e., objects or structures with a plant-like or zoomorphic appearance), and a characteristic horror vacui.<br\/>The column fragment we are interested in here corresponds closely to this type of artistic production. The numerous vertical friezes feature palmette and acanthus leaf motifs, in an intertwining pattern that leaves no empty space.<br\/>This fragment can be compared to an 8th-century column shaft from the Church of San Salvatore in Brescia, which has similar decorations and layout.<br\/>This column fragment is therefore a characteristic expression of the Lombard iconographic tradition, as demonstrated by its ornamental foliage reminiscent of Byzantine art.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5007\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-15.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-18.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/galeriepiatti.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/240516_PIATTI_inustudio-16.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5005,"template":"","a-la-une":[],"class_list":["post-5014","catalogue","type-catalogue","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Column fragment - Italy, 7th-8th centuries &#8212;
