• Resumen

  • The article discusses the tomb of nobleman Enrico Scrovegni at the Arena Chapel, also called the Scrovegni Chapel, in Padua, Italy. The author suggests that Scrovegni was not immediately buried in the chapel following his 1336 death due to his exile in Venice, Italy, but was later reburied there. The author describes the tomb, including porphyry panels and a marble sarcophagus, and suggests that Scrovegni commissioned tombs designed by sculptor Giovanni Pisano and an unknown master.
