Descrizione:
The fresco comes from a side wall of the choir of the Church of San Michele di Fassolo, demolished in 1858; the detachment was executed in 1849 by the painter Tammar Luxoro. Manfredino brought the novelty of painting in the way it was evolving in Assisi, from where the painter probably moved directly to Genoa, living there for at least until 1305. The fresco depicts Jesus at Simon's supper, as he is seated with other guests and an apostle; below, Mary Magdalene washes and anoints Christ's feet. A city with large buildings forms the backdrop to the scene.
