Abstract

The ciborium of Sant’Ambrogio in Valpolicella is the product of an assemblage made in 1923, with elements from different contexts. There are many sculptures from the time of King Liutprand and others probably from the Romanesque period, when the church was rebuilt. Many additions were made during 20th century restorations, which are only visible with a certain difficulty. Two arches and two capitals belong to the workshop of Master Ursus, who executed the ciborium for St John the Baptist, probably the baptistery. While the other two arches, with many other sculptures in the Antiquarium Museum, come from a second ciborium with similar dimensions to the older one.
