, 1/10 f/7.1, ISO 800, hand held. Abbazia di Vezzolano, Italy.

L'elemento scultoreo di maggiore interesse, per bellezza e rarità, è però il grande jubé, un tramezzo decorato con sculture in alto rilievo, che all'interno della navata centrale separava l'area destinata al clero da quella in cui trovavano posto i semplici fedeli. Poiché le figure più esterne furono, in epoca posteriore, semplicemente dipinte in ristrette aree libere, si suppone che il grande rilievo fosse stato realizzato per una diversa destinazione, e poi sia stato accorciato per essere sistemato nell'attuale posizione. Anche se la leggenda attribuisce erroneamente il merito della costruzione a Carlo Magno, la storia individua un altro protettore famoso: Federico Barbarossa che, dopo aver distrutto, tra tante altre città, anche Asti e Chieri, prese sotto la sua protezione "la chiesa e il luogo" di Vezzolano con tutte le sue dipendenze e possessi situati in ben quattro diocesi: Torino, Ivrea, Asti e Vercelli. Diritti poi confermati, nel 1210, dall'imperatore Ottone IV.Sul bassorilievo sul pontile che divide in due parti la chiesa nella seconda riga dell'iscrizione c'è scritto: "anno ab incarnatione Domini MCLXXXVIII, regnante Federico imperatore, completum est opus istud sub preposito Vidone".
