The church of San Tomaso Becket, commonly known as the church of San Tomaso Cantuariense, is a church situated in the central Verona, near the Ponte Nuovo del Popolo. The present church was built by Carmelites to replace two 14th-century churches, one dedicated to St Thomas Becket (1316), the other to the Annunciation (1351). The architect Michele Sammicheli designed the plans during 1545-1550. The façade remains incomplete. The portal of the church was transferred here from Santa Maria Mater Domini in Valdonega. The bell tower, with ten bells, was completed in 1400. The church has artworks by Paolo Farinati, Francesco Torbido, Girolamo dai Libri, Antonio Balestra, and Alessandro Turchi. The organ is known to have been used in 27 December, 1769, by a young Mozart. The bell tower has a ring of ten bells in D, rung with the Veronese bellringing art. ==Sources== * G.Borelli, Chiese e monasteri di Verona (1980); Banca popolare di Verona, Verona * (Guide to churches of Verona ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「San Tomaso Becket, Verona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
