Description:
|
Parodi spent most of his career in Milan and Bergamo. In Rome, his sole prominent public commission was for the fresco of the ceiling of San Pietro in Vincoli in 1706; a smaller commission was for the vault medallions (ca. 1706) in S Maria dell’Orto, Rome. In the scene of the Miracle of the Chains, Pope Alexander (Saint, died 115 CE as a martyr) heals the neck goiter of Saint Balbina by touching her with the chains that once bound St. Peter. (Or with his own chains in prison, blessed by St. Peter). (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
