...Rondinelli is the probable author of the Layard Madonna, at least. He thinks that both pictures are copies of an original Bellini, apparently painted towards 1490, which has disappeared. Mr. Berenson further points out the connection of the Fogg Museum painting, in certain details, with a Madonna in the Duomo at Chioggia and a Madonna formerly in the Berberini Gallery, Rome, a Madonna and Child attributed to Rondinelli...
...foot age of St. Peter's at Rome is 227, -069; of the Mesquita at Cordova 232,250, less about one-third for courtyard and cloisters; of Santa Maria de la Sede at Seville 128,570 of St. John the Divine at New York 109,082; of the Duomo at Milan 107,-000.

The baptistry is a very handsome building, but the chief interest centers in the well known "Leaning Tower," from whose summit Galileo made his experiments on falling bodies. The attitude of this tower...
