Local stone carved with Greek letters from 300 BC, Regional Museum of Messina, Sicily, Italy
I found it difficult to imagine some stone carver carving these letters so many centuries ago. It doesn’t seem possible that we can still read their work today.
Unknown local stonemason of the Hellenistic age, 3rd century BC
Fragment of a Stone Inscription in Oscan Language and Greek Alphabet
Local engraved sandstone from a building in Cardines Street

“Laurana’s style became widely adopted—as seen in the *Fragment with a Musical Angel* attributed to Pietro de Bonitate. De Bonitate was a collaborator of Laurana and the creator of the Cathedral portal (executed in 1468); he followed the design of Baboccio da Piperno—a sculptor active within the circle of the Angevin-Durazzo dynasty in Naples. Our fragment may well originate from that same milieu, as it demonstrates an adherence to Gothic models despite the structural approach derived from Laurana. The model of the Cathedral portal also became widespread beyond the Strait of Messina, influencing a series of pointed-arch portals in Calabria. – Regional Museum of Messina”
