Equestrian statue of Bernabò Visconti in the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. In 1356, after having offended the emperor, he pushed back a first attack upon Milan by the imperial vicar Markward von Randeck, imprisoning him. In 1360 he was declared heretic by Innocent VI at Avignon and condemned by Emperor Charles IV.
The equestrian statue was reused – with changes and additions carried out by the same Bonino in 1385-86 – as Bernabò’s funerary monument in the same church. It is now preserved in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan.
