Aimo and Vermondo Holding Up the Church of Saint Victor; Legenda Venerabilium Virorum Aymonis et Vermondi, about 1400. Additional Info: Aimo and Vermando hold up a small church within a crenellated walled enclosure. The scene is not recounting a feat of superhuman strength in which the two brothers lift up a building. Rather, the image represents the brothers' financing of a new church dedicated to Saint Victor in the town of Meda. After being saved from an attack of wild boars, the brothers donated money for this church as a way of giving thanks. It is in the church of Saint Victor that the two were eventually buried.
