About the piece
Painted in 1873 by Amos Cassioli, this work illustrates a historical moment in Siena where Provenzan Salvani collected alms to save a friend. The composition is masterfully staged with dozens of figures in period attire set against the monumental backdrop of medieval architecture, rendered in a soft, luminous palette.
