Cathedral

The current façade dates back to the 18th century and is the work of the engineer Nicolò Baschiera, who completed it in 1761 and died in Milan in 1780. Much like the right-hand side, the front façade was the work of the Venetian Dalle Masegne brothers, who built it in the Gothic style that can be seen elsewhere in a painting by the Veronese Domenico Morone (1442-1518) depicting the seizing of power by the Gonzagas. On top of the tympanum, and on the left and right-hand sides, one can see a few statues of blessed figures and saints from the Mantuan tradition, including Luigi Gonzaga and Osanna Andreasi.
