In the early part of the fourteenth century Venetian sculptors were still firmly tied to traditional formulas.This may have been one of the reasons why more demanding patrons, such as Bartolomeo Ravachaulo, rector of San Simeone, preferred to commission sculptors from other towns. One example is the recumbent figure from the dismembered tomb of St Simeon, carved by Marco Romano, who gained his artistic training in the circle of Giovanni Pisano.
