Domenico di Bartolo's depiction of "Emperor Sigismund Enthroned" and Matteo di Giovanni's Massacre of the Innocents are two of the 59 panels in the famous marble floor here; that theme is mirrored by the black and white striped campanile. The great octagonal pulpit was designed by Nicola Pisano, assisted by his son Giovanni who also worked on its lower façade, while the small Chigi Chapel is a design by Bernini. The Feast of Herod by Donatello was designed for its baptistery, while its high altar was once the home of the Maestá altarpiece.
