Very little is known about the early history of the Veronese church of Saint Sebastian, which the Jesuit order demolished and rebuilt in the late 16th century. Furthermore, some of its surviving tombstones, which are now preserved in the local Biblioteca Civica, have never received scholarly attention. Bibliographic and archival investigations allow us to partially reconstruct both the history and the structure of the church before its demolition, providing also biographical information about the tomb owners.
