Urbino
Rebuilt in the early 19th century in neoclassical style, the interior of Urbino's duomo commands much greater interest than its austere facade. Particularly memorable is Federico Barocci's Ultima cena (Last Supper).
At the time of research, the cathedral was closed for restoration work, but the adjacent Museo Diocesano Albani was open at weekends.
