<previous Between 1328 and 1333, Giotto worked for Robert The Wise King of Naples. Giotto had by then numerous pupils in his workshop. There is nothing left of this period except a fragment of a fresco in Santa Chiara cloister, Naples representing the Lamentation of the dead Christ. Santa Chiara cloister was commissioned by the wife of the king of Anjou. The contribution of assistants is visible in this piece.

During the construction of the campanile of the Cathedral of Florence, sometimes in 1336, Giotto travelled to Milan where he worked for Azzone Visconti, a ruthless lord who had killed his own uncle. There Giotto produced the Vanagloria (worldly glory) frescoes. Unfortunately no work from this period survived but the Lombard school shows traces of his influence.
