The tomb of Bernabò Visconti, lord of Milan from 1354 to 1385,is a spectacular funeral monument.Its original location was the chancel of San Giovanni in Conca, Milan,an ancient church near the mansion of the Bernabò family and used by them as privatechapel and family mausoleum. Today only a few remains of the crypt survive inthe present Piazza Missori. Thetomb arrived at Castello Sforzesco in 1898.
