专家说明

The original of this huge cannon, called San Paolo, in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello, is one of twelve guns, each of them named after an Apostle, cast in 1635 by Cosimo Cenni, for Ferdinand II of Medici. The head of St. Paul is at one end, inscribed above with the weight of the metal, 27,500 lbs., and the number 407, indicating the number of guns cast by Cenni by that date.
