caption: SACRED MUSIC Choir of priests and altar boys performing a Gregorian chant. Detail of the fresco of the ''Transfer of the Holy Face from Luni to Lucca'' by the Bolognese artist Amico Aspertini (1474-1552), which depicts the 8th-century episode in which the sacred reliquary in the form of a crucifix, itself a relic as an acheropita image, disputed between the cities of Luni and Lucca, is loaded onto a cart and entrusted to the free impartial transport of heifers, which under divine guidance carry it to Lucca; the singers accompany the cart on the miraculous journey. Lucca, 1508-1509.
