Abstract
The pulpit and the candelabrum in the Benedictine abbey of the Holy Trinity in Cava de’ Tirreni (Salerno) have received only marginal attention in scholarship because they are the result of a restoration palimpsest (ca. 1880-1950). Little consideration has been given to their sculptural elements, either because they do not fit into the established interpretative scheme of local artistic production, or because they have been considered forgeries. Thanks to new archival data and to the analytical re-examination of what is primarily preserved in the church and cloister of the abbey, this article focuses on the sculptures belonging to the medieval liturgical furnishings (12th-13th c.) made for this preeminent center in Southern Italy.
