La ricomposizione dei gruppi scultorei delle porte urbiche di Milano : nuove ricerche e proposte
The six XIVth century portals of the city walls of Milan were adorned by really significant statues of saints flanking a Madonna and Child (partially ascribed to Giovanni di Balduccio and to the Maestro delle sculture di Viboldone together with their workshop), originally placed into tabernacles. Unfortunately some sculptures have been dispersed over the centuries and their original provenance is now unknown. This research, based on the study of ancient documents and of almost unheard religious and historic sources, allowed us to formulate new hypotheses about the original location of the statue of Madonna di Riozzo and other figures of saints coming from the destroyed Porta Comasina, Porta Vercellina and Porta Romana
