NOTES: The Certosa (Charterhouse) di Pavia is a Carthusian monastery built between 1396 and 1452. The church proper, built on a Latin cross plan, was completed in 1472, while the facade was begun in 1491 by a group of architects and sculptors under the leadership of Giovanni Antonio Amadeo and completed in the sixteenth century.
