Teramo Cathedral

A new portal was also added, decorated with Cosmatesque mosaics, dated 1332 and signed by the Roman master Deodato.

Artworks in the church include the silver antependium of the high altar, a masterwork by Nicola da Guardagriele, who worked on it with his workshop from 1433 to 1448.

This antependium replaced a previous one, also of precious quality, which had been stolen in 1416 during the troubles following the death of King Ladislaus of Naples.

The central sheet is double-sized and depicts the Redeemer; it is flanked by the Four Evangelists and the four Doctors of the Church; the last scene represents Saint Francis receiving the stigmata while the others show Jesus' life from the Annunciation to the Pentecost.

It shows, in the center, Christ crowned by the Virgin; under them is the representation of the city of Teramo as it was at the time.

[3] Other artworks include a 14th-century wooden crucifix (discovered during the 2010 restorations) and the Madonna of the Master of Santa Caterina Gualino (14th century).
