EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate bas-relief of Raimondinus vilis, located on the facade of the Duomo in Fidenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. Created by Benedetto Antelami and his workshop, this artwork has sparked numerous debates about the identity of Raimondinus vilis. The inscription beneath his figure refers to him as "the humble Raimondino" but there are more uncertainties than certainties surrounding who he truly was. Various hypotheses have emerged over time to explain his identity. Some believe that he was a poor pilgrim who passed away in Borgo San Donnino, while others suggest that he symbolized the struggles of impoverished people and contributed to the construction of the church.
