About this person
Here he is described as the "principal and supreme artificer of such an arduous undertaking". Together with Bonsignore, the Bishop of Reggio, Lanfranco discovered the urn with relics of St. Geminianus for the new church in 1106. A Latin apsidal epigraph in the cathedral describes Lanfranco as "famous for ingenuity, knowledgeable and competent director of works, governor and master".
