Santa Corona, Vicenza

Santa Corona is a Gothic-style, Roman Catholic church located in Vicenza, region of Veneto, Italy.

The church contains the Valmarana chapel (circa 1576), whose design is attributed to the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio.

The Thiene chapel has frescos by Michelino da Besozzo, and an altarpiece depicting an Enthroned Madonna and child venerated by Saints Peter and Pius V by Gianbattista Pittoni.

In a small chapel off the sacristy are a number of statues of Dominican saints, including that of Vincent Ferrer.

Palladio died in 1580 and was initially buried in Santa Corona,[3] before being re-interred in a new tomb in a cemetery chapel in 1844.
