Audio transcription
Close to the entrance, at the beginning of the left aisle, you arrive in front of the 15th century altar by Boldieri. To the side of the chapel, on the left, is the tomb of the physician Gerardo Boldieri. The altar is inspired by an Albertian model, in which we find statues of saints in soft coloured stone.
At the centre there is a Madonna and Child, and beneath her, St. Peter Martyr who stands out from the others for his sophisticated style and holds in hands a model of the city of Verona. To his right we see Saint Rocco and on the left Sebastian. In the apse, the fresco of the Coronation of the Virgin, at the top, the Resurrected Christ: works now attributed to Antonio Badile II, son of Giovanni who, fifty years before, frescoed vaults of the central basilica. On the opposite wall above the entrance door there is the large canvas with the Council of Trento by Biagio Falcieri. On either side, there are works from the second half of the 17th century: The Martyrdom of St. Tiburzio and Valerian to the left and Scenes from the life of Pope Urbano , on the right side.
