In 1480 Amadeo was engaged to complete the tomb of the Persian Martyrs for Cremona Cathedral (dispersed in the 19th century: Cremona Cathedral; Milan, Castello Sforzesco; Paris, Louvre, Philadelphia, Museum of Art), originally commissioned from Giovanni Antonio Piatti (1447-1480) a year before his death by Antonio Meli, Abbot of S Lorenzo, Cremona. In view of the fragmentary condition of the work, Amadeo's contribution is difficult to assess.
The picture shows a relief, now placed on a 19th-century pulpit in Cremona Cathedral.
