Description:

Bernabò Visconti (1323-1385) was an Italian soldier and statesman, who was Lord of Milan. Bonino da Campione sculpted the equestrian statue of Bernabò Visconti for the church of San Giovanni in Conca around 1363. Its positioning near the church's main altar was regarded as highly problematic by contemporaries and it was commented on by poet and intellectual Petrarch among others, since Bernabò was considered a despot and tyrant who was deposed and later poisoned. The equestrian statue was reused with changes and additions (a sarcophagus) carried out by the same Bonino in 1385-1386 as Bernabò's funerary monument in the same church. It was moved to the Castello Sforzesco in Milan after the church was demolished. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
