Italian term or phrase: programma e testamento
What is the best way to translate 'programma' here?

Here is the sentence:

Egli aveva lasciato però un’immensa eredità nella storia di Aquileia, riassunta in due eccezionali edificazioni: la posa di solide basi per il nascente Stato patriarcale (1077) e la costruzione del complesso basilicale che prende il suo nome, nel quale dopo mille anni è tornato a nuovo fulgore il grande affresco dell’abside, programma e testamento spirituale del suo impegno religioso e politico.



programma e testamento spirituale del suo impegno religioso e politico.

Penso possa essere reso in questo modo. Ovviamente utilizzerai testament o legacy.

program(me) and spiritual testament


Explanation:
I believe "programma" refers to the pictorial program(me).

I think you'll need some sort of workaround for "del", perhaps "reflecting"?
