SUMMARY:2019 International Congress on Medieval Studies
DESCRIPTION:The 14th-century Painted Ceiling of the Sala Magna in Palazz
 o Chiaromonte-Steri in Palermo: 3 Linked Sessions\n\n\n\nThe restoration
  of the 14th-century wooden ceiling of the Sala Magna in Palazzo Chiarom
 onte—known as Steri—began in September 2017. The outstanding interwe
 aving of decorative and narrative images\, that includes courtly Arthuri
 an romance\, Carolingian and classical tales\, and Biblical allegories\,
  is being brought back to life. The ceiling was crafted between 1377 and
  1380\, as attested by the inscription that runs along two sides of the 
 ceiling between beams and&nbsp\;lacunars\, in which the name of the patr
 on is also mentioned: the powerful and noble ruler of Palermo—Manfredi
 &nbsp\;Chiaromonte (d. November 1391). The surface area of the wooden ce
 iling measures 23 x 8 meters. The&nbsp\;iconography is displayed uninter
 rupted on the three sides of the 24 beams and on the 100&nbsp\;coffered&
 nbsp\;lacunars. After the fall of the Chiaromonte family\, the palace wa
 s first occupied by King Martin I\, the Humane (29 July 1356 – 31 May 
 1410)\, then by the Viceroys of Aragon\, and the House of Bourbon. Betwe
 en 1601 and 1782 it became the Palace of the Inquisition and later the h
 alls of the palace were used as the Court of Appeal. Today the building 
 is home to the rectorate of the University of Palermo. The three linked 
 sessions seek to be a&nbsp\;fruitful occasion to shed new light on the c
 eiling of the&nbsp\;Sala&nbsp\;Magna&nbsp\;in Palazzo Chiaromonte-Steri 
 as well as other medieval painted ceilings in the Mediterranean.
