Mausoleo di San Bernardino - L'Aquila, Italy - Renaissance Architecture on Waymarking.com

"The fifth chapel to the right of the Basilica of San Bernardino, which is much bigger than the others one, features the Mausoleum of St. Bernardino of Siena. The commission was given to Silvestro dell'Aquila in 1489 by Jacopo di Notar Nanni and it was completed by his grandchild Angelo, better known as L'Ariscola, in 1505. The mausoleum is considered the masterpiece of Renaissance art in L'Aquila. The mausoleum has quadrilateral form on two lines of pilasters decorated by recesses with sacred sculptures. The remains of the saint are held in a modern silver urn which substitutes for the original one smuggled by French. The vault of the chapel and the apse have frescos made by Girolamo Cenatiempo."
