Arca di Cansignorio
Via delle Arche Scaligere, 1, Verona, ItalyAmong the early medieval arches, the most elaborate is the Cansignorio arch (1375). It was built by Bonino da Campione, who opted for a complex and fastidiously ornamented architecture: the gates that encircle it are enriched by shrines with the figures of the Warrior Saints Lodovico, Martino, Sigismondo, Quirino, Valentino and Giorgio. The tomb, on which lies the prone figure of the deceased, watched over by angels, is decorated with bass-reliefs depicting scenes from the Gospels. Above the tomb there is an arched baldacchino suppported by six twisted columns. On the top of the cusp stands the equestrian statue of Cansignorio, on a hexagonal base on which are carved bass-reliefs of the apostles.
