Les femmes saints Barbara (à gauche) et Margherita ou Margaret de Cortona représentées dans une fresque Renaissance endommagée, peinte en 1512, sur le devant ouest de la Cappella di San Grato (Chapelle de St Gratus) désectée dans la via Jean-Baptiste de Tillier dans le centre historique d'Aoste, Capitale régionale de la Valle d’Aoste dans le nord-ouest de l’Italie. Saint Barbara possède une tour à trois fenêtres. La tour symbolise l’emprisonnement de Barbara par son père. Les trois fenêtres - qu'elle a ordonné d'insérer dans sa prison - symbolisent la Sainte Trinité.

Aosta, Valle d’Aosta, Italy: Saints Barbara (left) and Margherita or Margaret of Cortona (right), painted in April 1512 on the west front of the deconsecrated former Cappella di San Grato or Chapel of St Gratus in Via Jean-Baptiste De Tillier in the historic centre of this regional capital city. The damaged fresco bearing black Gothic lettering is part of a wider artwork over the 13th century chapel’s round-arched entrance that also depicts saints Catherine of Alexandria and Nicholas of Bari on the other side of a Madonna with Child Enthroned. A panel aded later to the facade features St Gratus holding the head of St John the Baptist, intent on preventing a hailstorm and driving away two small demons. The chapel was closed for worship in the 1700s and sold in 1781 to the Aosta fire brigade, which used it to store tools used in emergencies. The west front frescoes were partly destroyed when a wider entrance was built to allow the passage of fire pumps. In the 1800s, the building was occupied by a tailor and it had a shop window against the facade. The frescoes inside and out were plastered over, but were uncovered and restored in the 1990s. The former chapel has been owned since 1998 by the Municipality of Aosta and is used to host temporary exhibitions. D0754.A9025
