the magnificent interior of the Cathedral proposes many subjects of interest. The frescoes, sometimes superposed one to another, with scenes and characters of the Old and New Testaments, the decoration of the altars (the lion symbolic represent the evangelist Marc and the bull the evangelist Luc), the iconostasis, the Trittico (three pictures) of the great Venetian painter Mantegna, the cripta with the petrified forest of columns each with different capital and the decoration of the main door. The statue of San Zeno, the first Bishoph of Verona arrived from Mauretania, shows a fish attached to his pastoral, this because, according to the legend, San Zeno:

used to sit on a big stone on the bord of the not far river Adige and fishing during his meditations and religious preparations. The images represent to you said subjects of interests. Any remark from your side is welcomed.
Saluti
