Remarks about the translation
Nell'opera d'arte, sulla spada è riportata l'iscrizione " «H.AS O S» " che è la forma abbreviata per Humilitas Occidit Superbiam.

In that Caravaggio's masterpiece, you can read the sentence "«H.AS O S»" on the sword. It means what i said you: "Humilitas occidit superbiam". It's a sentence told by St. Agostino.
