The apse mosaic, which barely survived the fire, is from about 1220 and was made by Venetian artists (stylistic confirmation has been obtained by comparing it with work in St Mark's Cathedral in Venice ). Monk-guests from other Benedictine monasteries might appreciate a warning that the brethren have no free individual right of access to the basilica. Pope St Leo the Great (440–461) restored the church after an earthquake, and it was he who, by tradition began the commissioning of series of papal portraits in the nave. Pope Gregory II (715-31) re-founded the male monastery for Benedictine monks, who have been in residence ever since.
