These are the scenes represented by the statuary groups in the Pilate's House in San Vivaldo together with some frescos.Ecce Homo
Situated externally at the Pilate's house there is the shrine of Ecce Homo. Here is represented the moment when Pilate present Jesus to the crowd and says: "Ecce Homo!" (Here is the man!).
Also here together with the statuary group there is a marvellous fresco that argue an high artistic expertise by the artists of those years. A particular that is important to note is the characters clothing that follow the typical folk traditions of XVI century.
Below the shrine of Ecce Homo, since 1900, there where the prison with the statue of Barabba that probably it has been damaged or stolen.
