Brescia Cathedral: Overall elevated view

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Italy
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

The construction of the Duomo Nuovo involved the most influential local architects. Ludovico Beretta prepared a design (untraced) in 1566 for the proposed rebuilding of Brescia Cathedral, which in 1567 was admired by Palladio for its 'bella invenzione'; the cathedral was eventually reconstructed to a project (1604) by Giovanni Battista Lantana (1581-1627). Giovan Battista Marchetti (1686-1758) was responsible for the design of the façade and Rodolfo Vantini (1791-1865) for the steep dome. It has interior frescoes by Bonvicino.
