Resumen de Per la data della "Crocifissione" nel transetto della chiesa inferiore di Assisi
This artice offers a new date for a most renowned fresco, the Cricifixion in the north transpet of the Lower Church of St. Francis, Assisi. The author identifies the Franciscan kneeling beside the Cross between St Francis and St Anthony as being General Minister Gonsalvus de Valvoa (Gonsalvus Hispanis). Gonsalvus' well known connection with St Anthony help to understand the historical frame of the fresco, suggesting a date between the Pentecost of the year 1310 and Gonsalvus' death in April 1313. This date will work as a "terminus ante quem" for the Infancy frescoes in the same transept and as the reference point for the other paintings by Giotto such as the Santa Reparata polyptych in Florence and the Stefaneschi polyptych in the Vatican.
