The photograph, taken around 1900, transports us back to the Middle Ages when this remarkable artwork was created during the 13th century. The door itself is an exquisite example of applied arts and crafts, crafted meticulously out of bronze. It is currently housed in the Biblioteca Capitolare (capitulary library) in Benevento, where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate design and historical significance.
