Giovan francesco capoferri based on a design by lorenzo lotto, samson and dalila. After 1530. Having fallen in love with dalila, the daughter of a philistine, samson ends up confiding in her that his superhuman strength depends on the hair which, as a vow to god, he has never cut. In cahoots with the philistines, dalida cuts his hair while he sleeps and delivers him to her enemies in exchange for the money promised to her (who pays her, inexplicably, is a dominican friar). Samson is captured, blinded by dazzling him at the fire placed on an altar, mocked and tied to turn the millstone in place of the donkey or mule that an attendant drives away. Inlays of the lay choir of santa maria maggiore in bergamo.
