One particularly fascinating plaque in our collection bears a Latin inscription, partially worn but still decipherable. It appears to read: “S. PHIRONIMUS BARUS ARCHIPRAESB. CHRISTI SPOZ”, which can be interpreted as “Saint (or Sir) Phironimus of Bari, Archpriest, (dedicated to) Christ.” While some parts of the inscription remain unclear due to erosion, the text suggests a noble or ecclesiastical commission, possibly linked to a monastery or an aristocratic family devoted to religious patronage. Such plaques hold profound historical significance, whispering stories of faith, nobility, and artistic devotion through the centuries.
