A beautiful city full of important monuments, starts from Piazza del Duomo which is among the most beautiful (but also little known, unfortunately) in the world.
Duomo, Baptistery and Palazzo Vescovile are the triptych of a mosaic that bear witness to a literally millenarian history.
The first is considered the most beautiful example of Romanesque Lombard, a realization begun in the year 1100, and frescoed (the dome) in 1526 by Correggio.
The Baptistery, on the other hand, is an octagon (inspired by the 8th day when Christ is a resource) that dates back to the end of 1100, externally embellished by the pink marble of Verona.
The outside is instead full of images that describe the life of Jesus and of Mary, of the Baptist, death and resurrection.
The Episcopal Palace, today the bishop’s seat and the Diocesan Museum, has faced different eras: medieval, renaissance, baroque, twentieth century.
