The Duomo

The Duomo is the Cathedral of Verona, called Santa Maria Matricolare. It was built on the site of two paleo-christian churches destroyed by an earthquake in 1117. The "new" building was consacrated on the 13rd of september, 1187.

Church of Santa Anastasia

Church of Santa Anastasia is one of the most beautiful churches of Verona, a masterpiece of gothic art built between 1280 and 1400.

Here is a detail of the beautifully painted ceiling and the organ (1625) of the Miniscalchi altar, decorated in the XVth century.

I lack of information about the sculpture, which was, initially, the object of my photo.

A special point of view

I took this photo of Piazza Dante while I was visiting a photo exhibit at the Scavi Scaligeri,

Arche Scaligere

The Scala family ruled Verona between the XIII and XIV century. Mastino, Cansignorio, Cangrande are the leading names of the Scala family. Power, intrigues, treasons, murders, art and poetry (Cangrande was the patron of Dante, Petrarch and Giotto): a fascinating medieval history.

In my photo you can see the tomb of Cansignorio della Scala... read more
