Construction of the city’s new cathedral began in 1093, modifying and expanding the previous church of Santa Maria; by 1119, the church was completed and already had its important bronze Porta Maggiore, thanks also to the interest of Bishop William II, whose name appears in the inscription on the door itself. The sculptor and founder was Oderisio da Benevento<\/a>, who also created the one for Benevento Cathedral. [Photos 1, 2]<\/p>\n

We are witnessing a transition from the technique of bronze Byzantine doors<\/a> to that of Western doors: Byzantine is the system of two wooden panels (each measuring 3.66 m and 1.1 m) covered with 28 bronze panels and 20 rectangular panels that form the border on three sides; they are all held together by a grid of eight horizontal and six vertical bars in the shape of knotted sticks, secured at the intersections by studs in the shape of four-petalled flowers.<\/p>\n

There are registers of inlaid panels (the first upper register and the second-to-last at the bottom), but the design and inlaid technique is entirely Western: at the top are St. Peter and St. Paul, Christ in the mandorla, Bishop William II, Berard and Oderisius, all crudely imitating Byzantine inlaid work. [Photos 3, 4, 5]<\/p>\n

The third register also had similar inlaid decorations, but were replaced in 1691 with the coats of arms of Antonio di Sangro, Bishop of Troia, Cardinal Scipione Rebiba, and his nephew Prospero Rebiba.
\nThose in the penultimate register were replaced in 1573 with others featuring engravings of Saints Secundus, Anastasius, Pontianus, and Eleutherius, all placed on stepped bases. [Photo 6]<\/p>\n

In the central register, two foliate crosses, slightly raised from the background, flank two high-relief dragons holding door knockers, also cast using the lost-wax process. The differences in each of these (including the foliate crosses) point to the direct casting of the sculptures, modeled directly in wax. [Photos 13, 14, 15]<\/p>\n

Nel 1127 lo stesso vescovo Guglielmo ordinava a Oderisio da Benevento due valve di bronzo per chiudere la porta minore destra della stessa chiesa, semplificata e di dimensioni minori rispetto alla prima. Anche in questa, nelle incisioni, nessun residuo della tradizione bizantina.[Foto 17,18]<\/p>\n
