Complesso del Duomo di Verona

Piazza Vescovado, 37121 Verona VR

Romanesque cathedral complex with a chapel tomb and Titian altarpiece bought by a bishop's family.

This guide to the Duomo complex in Verona opens at the tomb of Galeso Nichesola, bishop of Belluno, whose family hired the renowned Venetian sculptor Jacopo Sansovino to build him an elaborate marble monument after his death in 1528. You'll hear how the family then rebuilt the chapel itself and brought in an even bigger name for the altarpiece inside. The guide traces just how far one wealthy family would go to make sure their name was remembered. Look for Sansovino's chisel marks in the folds of the bishop's marble robe.
