He later served as Podesta of Zara (w:Zadar) in Dalmatia. Findagrave.com: In 1453 he helped save the Venetian fleet at Constantinople. The tomb is made by Pietro Lombardo. Centuries of footsteps have worn away some of the inlay on the tomb. Still, it was judged by the great 19th Century sculptor Canova as 'a real jewel of art.'[3]. Floor of the nave; niello-work. Two crests on helms hoisted-up on spears by putti, one of a man-faced demi-wyvern, the other of an w:armillary sphere, with effusive mantling. |
