Lonely Planet review for Duomo

Verona’s 12th-century duomo is a striking striped Romanesque building, with polychrome reliefs and the bug-eyed statues of Charlemagne’s paladins Roland and Oliver, by medieval master Nicolò, on the west porch. Nothing about this sober facade hints at the extravagant interior, frescoed over the 16th to 17th centuries with angels in the trompe l’œil architecture. At the left end of the nave is the Cartolari-Nichesola Chapel, designed by Jacopo Sansovino with a vibrant Titian Assumption, showing astonished crowds pointing at the airborne Madonna.
