Main portal
by SANTI, Andriolo di Pagano de', Photo
Andriolo de Santi is first documented on 7 November 1342 while working on the portal of San Lorenzo in Vicenza. He was master mason of this Franciscan commission, carried out between 1342 and 1345, and received the highest salary for the execution of two portals, despite the fact that he spent most of his time in Venice. The side portal was destroyed, but the main portal, forming part of the first major Franciscan fa�ade, survives.
