San Zeno Maggiore

Church Verona, Italy

The basilica of San Zeno in Verona is one of the Romanesque masterpieces in Italy. It is spread over three levels and the current structure was set up in the X-XI century. The saint's name is sometimes reported in two other ways, and thus the basilica of Verona is sometimes named: San Zeno Maggiore or San Zenone. Among the many works of art, it houses a masterpiece by Andrea Mantegna, the altarpiece of San Zeno. In May 1973 Pope Paul VI elevated it to the dignity of a minor basilica.
