Notes

Close in the method of presentation and drawn to half the same scale as another drawing (see Verona: Church of San Bernardino, Pellegrini mortuary chapel), it is on the same watermarked paper and also pricked for transfer, the drawings seem to be related and may be copies from the same source.

Designed by Sanmicheli in 1559 (the year of his death), the pilgrimage church of the Madonna di Campagna (Maria di Campagna) is located three miles south-east from the centre of Verona. It has a circular plan enclosing an octagon, and is circled by a low Tuscan colonnade supporting a lean-to roof. The cylindrical body of the church supports a drum and dome, and is approached through a portal and antechamber.

See general note regarding Sanmicheli and Luigi Trezza under Italy: Verona: Gran Guardia Vecchia.
