In those same years as he was active in Rivoli, Comand\u00f9 was also working for Maurice of Savoy, Duke of Monferrato in the abbey palace of the suppressed abbey of Casanova in Carmagnola. The prince who had established his residence there commissioned Comand\u00f9 to paint numbers II, III and IV of the Via Crucis in the church.<br \/>\nFor the church of Santa Croce in Rivoli, he painted the altarpiece with the \u201cMartyrdom of Saint Ursula and her companions\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;
