ROCKY'S ITALY: Mantua - The Basilica of Sant'Andrea

The Basilica of Sant’Andrea in Mantua, Italy, is a milestone of the Renaissance architecture. It was designed by the great architect Leon Battista Alberti for the Gonzaga family and is home to one of Christianity’s most important relics – the blood of Christ. The ruler of Mantua, Ludovico Gonzaga, wanted Alberti to design a Classically inspired church that would be a fitting monument for such an important holy relic!
