Basilica di Sant’Andrea, Mantova
-
Built to house a vial of Christ’s blood, this basilica was created by some of Italy’s finest architectural talents. Leon Battista Alberti, the great Renaissance theorist, designed it in 1470, Giulio Romano, a founder of Mannerism, enlarged it in 1530, and Baroque master Juvarra added the dome in 1732. Frescoes cover every inch of the barrel-vaulted interior.
