Chamberlain 29.9×

Veronese and the Veronese school bent Venetian colour inland, which is why the Painter, Sculptor and Architect lines built the city's Renaissance face together. The oddity is a Chamberlain count running some thirty times the norm — a della Scala-era court artifact — while the Poet bench quietly runs back to Catullus two millennia on.

Through the Centuries

One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Verona during each.
