San Fermo Maggiore, Romanesque and Gothic church near Ponte Navi, Verona, Italy.
The church structure consists of two distinct levels: an upper church with Gothic elements and a lower church featuring Romanesque architecture and medieval frescoes.
The church's origins trace back to 304 AD when Saints Fermo and Rustico were martyred near the Adige River, with their story depicted in bronze reliefs.
The upper church ceiling displays an inverted ship's hull design decorated with 416 saint images and plant patterns, representing medieval artistic traditions.
The church opens at different times during winter and summer seasons, with entrance tickets available directly at the location without prior reservations.
The late fourteenth-century pulpit stands in the middle of the nave, while the Brenzoni Monument features the earliest surviving work by Pisanello.
