New Cathedral, Brescia

Construction was begun in 1604 at the site where the paleo-Christian 5th-6th century basilica of San Pietro de Dom was located.

The original commission was given to Andrea Palladio, but it was subsequently granted to the architect Giovanni Battista Lantana.

[2] Work slowly but sporadically restarted on the construction, but the final impetus for completion came in the nineteenth century.

[3] The facade contains statues of the Virgin of the Assumption and Saints Peter, Paul, James, and John.

[4] Among the interior works of art are a scenes from the life of the Virgin by Girolamo Romanino (Marriage, Visitation, and Birth) and a Sacrifice of Isaac by Moretto da Brescia.
