Campanille della Cattedrale - Volterra - Toscana

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

 

Di fronte all'ex ospedale di Santa Maria e separato dal duomo dalla cattedrale fu costruita nel 1493 la cappella della Madonna in sostituzione dell'antico che era in pericolo di rovina, come testimonia l'iscrizione sulla base della torre. Un analogo campanile costruito all'epoca del cardinale Giovanni dei Medici nel 1482 su progetto del Sansovino si trova a Bolsena nel santuario dei Santi Giorgio e Cristina: è probabile che i volterrani chiesero il progetto del loro campanile insieme alla commissione del fonte battesimale che si trova nel battistero e che il Sansovino fu sicuramente eseguito nel 1502 come si legge nella stessa fonte.
