About this 3D model

Spinetta Malaspina was a condottiere, or military commander, who died in 1407. Later, his heirs placed this memorial in the church that pinetta founded outside the city. Its equestrian form is typical of Verona. Originally, the sculpture was probably brightly painted and gilded. The sarcophagus behind the row of figures is merely symbolic, indicating that the monument should be read as a cenotaph – a memorial with no body.
