Descrizione

The two bronze door knockers from the cathedral of San Giusto in Susa (Turin) are among the most significant surviving examples of metalwork production of this kind. These works, which can be ascribed to a Lombard workshop, were commissioned during the abbacy of Bosone (1120-1128) when the abbey church was enlarged and a new campaign of decoration was undertaken. The aim of this article is threefold: to examine the original location and the later relocations of the door knockers in the church, providing a more plausible interpretation of their iconography; to gain a better understanding of the provenance of the artists, and to show commonalities with coeval monumental sculpture in Northern Italy.
