| Video Discription | The cloister of the Collegiate Church of Saint'Orso in Aosta with its historiated capitals made in the 12th century is a splendid example of Romanesque art. The cloister, adjacent to the collegiate church of Saint'Orso, has a rectangular layout; the longer side that runs along the south side of the church measures 19.5 meters, while the smaller one is 10.7 meters. The vaults are supported by pillars and simple and paired columns; in the central area there is an ancient well. Its construction dates back to the years immediately following 1132, as attested by the inscription on one of the capitals: "ANNO AB INCARNATIO (N) E DOMINI MC XXX III IN HOC CLAUSTRO REGULAR (I) S VITA INCEPTA EST", which indicates the the effective beginning of community life. In that year, in fact, the request made to Pope Innocent II by the bishop of Aosta Eriberto (former canon regular of Sant'Agostino of the Chapter of Abondance in the Chiablese area in Alta Savoia) had obtained a positive response, aimed at having, for the congregation of Saint'Agostino Orso, the possibility of founding a community of Augustinians. Arnolfo di Avise was appointed prior of the community by Eribert; under his guidance, in addition to the cloister, the other convent rooms (pantry, refectory, dormitory, priory hall) were built around the cloister and the choir of the collegiate church was expanded in line with the needs of community life. Not all critics agree with the dating of the construction of the cloister in years close to 1132: stylistic considerations would lead to a later date, after the mid-12th century, when Arnulf of Avise had in turn obtained the episcopal chair. Some reports of pastoral visits attest to how the cloister was frescoed with scenes from the life of Saint'Orso; frescoes that had already become illegible at the beginning of the 15th century. The cloister has undergone some architectural changes over time. In the second half of the 15th century, on the initiative of Giorgio di Challant (appointed prior of the Collegiate Church of Saint'Orso in 1468), the vaults were rebuilt, with the cross structure visible today. The decline of community life, which began as early as the 16th century, culminated in 1644 when the Augustinian monastery was abolished. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, the convent buildings overlooking the eastern side of the cloister were demolished, which was also demolished and rebuilt with ribbed vaults. Following these works, some capitals were lost: four of them are today preserved in the Civic Museum of Ancient Art of Turin. BVfl5AwkXWw |
