This is the side entrance to the Basilica di Sant'Andrea in Mantova. The Architect was Leon Battista Alberti (Febr 14, 1404 - April 25, 1472), and it was commissioned by
Ludovico II Gonzaga, the church was begun in 1472. The building, however, was finished only 328 years later. Though later changes and expansions altered Alberti’s design, the church is still considered to be one of Alberti's most complete works. One of the chapels houses the tomb of painter
Andrea Mantegna, with a bronze figure of him, by
Gianmarco Cavalli.
I forgot the name of this church, so if anybody can help me to find the name of this church I would be much obliged.
