Saint Peter of Verona, protomartyr of the Order of Preachers, whose relics are preserved in Sant'Eustorgio of Milan, was canonised on the 9th March 1253. One year later, the general chapter of 1254, encouraged the presence of representations of the saint in all Dominican convents as a way of promoting the saint's cult. Among his brethren, Saint Peter of Verona was perceived as the perfect paradigm of the alter Christus for having died in defence of the Faith, award that had been denied to the founder of the order himself. Furthermore, in the Last Middle Ages, during the reign of the Catholic Kings, as patron of inquisitors for his constant fight against heresy, Saint Peter of Verona, alongside Saint Dominic of Guzman, was transformed into a legitimating instrument of the Holy Office.
