Italian term or phrase: lunetta
Arles. In molti la ricordano come tragico scenario dell’aggressione da parte di Vincent Van Gogh al suo più caro amico, il pittore Paul Gauguin. In molti la ricordano per la famosa lunetta presente nel portale della Chiesa di San Trofimo, al culmine della scultura romanica.

Sauriez-vous à quoi fait référence ce terme dans ce contexte?
Merci beaucoup
