The Basilica of Sant’Andrea is a Roman Catholic co-cathedral and minor basilica in Mantua Lombardy (Italy). It is one of the major works of 15th century Renaissance architecture in Northern Italy. Commissioned by Ludovico III Gonzaga the church was begun in 1462 according to designs by Leon Battista Alberti on a site occupied by a Benedictine monastery of which the bell tower (1414) remains. The building however was finished only 328 years later.
