Cathedral

Piazza
Duomo
The
design of the composite facade reveals the blend of the
Romanesque and Gothic styles: in the central part is a characteristic
and very fine double Porch designed by Master Nicoḷ, the
architect responsible for the 12th century design of the
church. Worthy of note is the architecture on the right?hand
side and that of the apse, examples of the refined art of
the Veronese Romanesque style. A beautiful frieze accentuates
the entire structure and the portal with a porch which opens
out of the right?hand side. The bell?tower dates back, in
the lower part to the 13th century, in the middle part to
the 16th century, and in the upper part to the 20th century
(architect -Fagiuoli).
The
interior, harmoniously structured and of great effect, is
in the Romanesque - Gothic style. it is divided into three
naves by large soaring pillars of the red marble of Verona
supporting pointed arches with cross vaults above. The artistic
works of art housed in the church are of considerable interest.
The Presbytery is characterized by an elegant tornacoro,
a semicircle of Ionic columns designed by Sanmichele. The
apse contains frescoes by Torbido depicting the Annunciation,
Episodes in the Life of Mary and the Prophets ( 16th century).
