About this audio guide
This guide to the Museo Civico Medievale in Bologna turns on Giovanni da Legnano, a fourteenth-century law professor whose fractured tomb panels are on display here, and the legal case he built for one side of a sudden papal crisis in thirteen seventy-eight. You will hear who hired him and what his argument was, for a Church that had found itself answering to two popes at once. Best heard standing in front of the carved lecture scene among the tomb fragments.
