Locatione of San Andrea



The locatione of San Andrea lay to the north of Foggia, near to the town of San Severo. John Marino uses this map to illustrate a highly distinctive and illuminating analysis of Dogana A flock of sheep with a shepherd and dog are shown within the locatione, and horses with a dog on the same pastures. Outside the boundary, another flock of sheep grazes, but these are 'protected' by a wolf carrying a shepherds crook. Rather than horses, two deer are shown, probably symbolising wilderness. Above is the motto Recta servat custodia iustitia pacem - 'Proper custodianship preserves the peace through justice'.
