In the middle of the Piazza San Dominico is this ancient looking tomb which belongs to a famous jurist called Rolandino dei Passeggeri. He had a renowned reputation for being an ‘intransigent guelph’ who became the main chief in Bologna around the 1300s. The sculpted sarcophagus, visible through the columns of the upper order, is perhaps the work of Giovanni Pisano, son of Nicola and creator of the ark of San Domenico.
