The Romanesque reliefs of the winter church of Santa Maria del Popolo have been kept in our museum since 1935, the year in which the demolition of the clerical complex came to an end. Thanks to the general direction of Gaetano Panazza, director of the Civic Museums of Art and History of Pavia (1947-56), flanked by the architect Bruno Ravasi, the Romanesque artifacts find their arrangement in rooms VII and XI of the Romanesque section of the Civic Museums , in an evocative path aimed at philologically recomposing the finds saved from destruction. The portal is reassembled in the original structure that provides for the alternation of rectangular and curved section elements and is currently located in room VII of our museum. The portal of Santa Maria del Popolo presents a symmetry of the motifs and a technique of the decorations that are linked to the Pavia tradition, which includes the presence of spirals, zoomorphic inserts, sea monsters, ribbon-like weaves. The harmony in the geometric proportions and the attention to decorative symmetry have led to the hypothesis of a later dating compared to most of the Romanesque facades in Pavia. Unfortunately, in the work to remove the architectural details, the upper parts of the capitals have been preserved in an incomplete way.
