Sarcofago, Stone sculpture in Via Arena, Bergamo, Italy.
The stone sarcophagus stands at 1.5 centimeters tall and features detailed craftsmanship representing the regional stone carving techniques of northern Italy.
The discovery of this sarcophagus in 1950 led to extensive research about the final resting place of Bartolomeo Colleoni in Santa Maria Maggiore.
The sarcophagus represents the tradition of stone sculpture in Bergamo, where artisans have worked with local materials for generations.
Visitors can find the sarcophagus at the intersection of Via Arena and Piazza Rosate, near the corner house's arches in Bergamo.
The structure contained human remains of an unidentified person, leading locals to name it the 'Mystery Knight' sarcophagus.
