Abstract
This article reconstructs the fresco program of the choir of the church of the Augustinian Hermits, called the Eremitani, which was damaged in WWII. The church was built in the thirteenth century and the choir was painted in the fourteenth century by Guariento d'Arpo. The article offers an interpretation of the program based on texts of St. Augustine, whom the Order of the Hermits of St Augustine claimed as their founder.
