Bust of Saint Andrew

In the right aisle of the Cathedral of Amalfi, almost at the end, there is the bust of St Andrew of the 16th century. On the door you can admire a large canvas depicting St. Andrew and St. Matthew rushing to the aid of Amalfi threatened by the terrible pirate Kairen-Din, better known as "Barbarossa"; every year on June 27th the people of Amalfi remember the event with a big party in honor of their Protector.
