Villaspeciosa - San Platano

Villaspeciosa - San Platano
San Platano seems to be a very close cousin of Santa Maria di Sibiola, that I had visited near Serdiana, about 20km east. It has the same uncommon, asymetrical layout - and two apses. Erected mid 12th century it belonged as well to the Abbey of St. Victor in Marseille.

The workshop may have completed Santa Maria di Sibiola - and then started the erection of San Platano. The workers (re-)used, what they found in nearby Roman ruins, for the embellishment of San Platano.
This person may be a spolia.

His name is John. He is "watching the wheels go round and round" from up there since more than 800 years.

"Mellerud" is too strong and has a rotten stench.
"Pitralon Molto Forte" should do. Smells much better...
