A guided tour focused on the authentic jewel of the Italian Renaissance: the Malatesta Temple, to discover its history and all its secrets.
Commissioned by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta and Leon Battista Alberti's first architectural work, begun in 1447, the Temple remains a great manifesto of Renaissance architecture, even in its incomplete form.
Inside: the Chapel of the Angels (or of Isotta), which contains the sepulchral ark of Sigismondo's wife, Isotta, Giotto's Crucifix, painted on wood and belonging to the Church of San Francesco, on which the Temple was built around. And again, the fresco by Piero della Francesca, painted in 1451 and depicting Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta kneeling in front of San Sigismondo, his sepulcher located to the right of the entrance and the Arco degli Antenati, where Sigismondo wanted the bones of the his ancestors and his descendants.
