The Latin dedicatory inscription reads: "COMUNITAS SANCTE FLORE AUSPICE ILLUST. MARIO COMITE F.C. AD MDLXXXIX". [source C. Benocci, 2016] Model was created in Reality Capture using 266 photographs. The Mt. Amiata Project is an ongoing GDH collaboration involving faculty and students at the University of Florence and the University of Siena. We could not have done this project without the considerable support of the Municipality of Santa Fiora. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
