L’extravagantes delle Revelationes coelestes di Santa Brigida narra l’ascesa al Monte Gargano. Questo testo racconta un episodio della vita di Brigida e invia un preciso messaggio ai lettori, mentre opera su diversi livelli: il simbolico, il narrativo ed il teologico. Pertanto, la descrizione del paesaggio, proposta da Santa Brigida, rappresenta piuttosto un paesaggio dell’anima. L’ambiente è però dipinto con colori foschi e non rimanda alla realtà. L’esposizione culmina nella visione angelica nella grotta di San Michele. Qui gli angeli giustificano il decadimento generale con la corruzione morale delle popolazioni locali. Sicché si può ritenere che la descrizione del paesaggio del Gargano costituisce piuttosto un ammaestramento morale. Un espediente di successo dunque, che trasmette messaggi incisivi.

The article deals with complex time inscribed in the architectural project of Siponto's Basilica. It analyzes the lifespan, from its construction in Paleochristian era until the collapse, that leads to its state of ruin. It investigates the restoration proposals identifying, in the choice of incorporating the ruin, the solution for the elusiveness of the essence of the remains. The work, commissioned to the artist Edoardo Tresoldi, exteriorizes the role of metaphor of absence” of the rest, and in the meantime it reveals the “raison d'être” of the ruin in its actual presence.
