Tomb of Bishop Orso

Of the famous tomb of Bishop Antonio Orso, which has come down to us with its architectural structure heavily tampered with, the most striking element is undoubtedly the original figure of the deceased, no longer recumbent, but seated, the hands folded, the head inclined, enclosed in the heavy torpor of the last sleep.
