Sant'Andrea, believed to have been Pistoia´s ancient cathedral, is thought to date back to the period of Lombard domination. The present day church dates to the mid 12th century. It is located on the Via Francigena, one of the major pilgrim-routes to Rome.
The facade, with bichrome marble decorations, is divided by five arches with columns and rhomboid motifs. The carvings were executed in the mid-12th century by Pisan brothers Gruamonte and Adeodatus. Here is a closer look on to the lintel above the central door.
The Magi on their way - Meeting Herod - Adoration of the Magi
There is a "signature" below:
FECIT HOC OP(US) GRUAMONS MAGIST(ER) BON(US) ET AD(EO)DAT(US) FRATER EJUS..
The inscription continues below.
Some scholars claim, that it may have been actually added later.
