In 1500 to 1510, under Ludovico Sforza, the octagonal cupola was completed, and decorated in the interior with four series of 15 statues each, portraying saints, prophets, sibyls and other characters of the Bible. The 349 ft spire is known as Guglietto dell'Amadeo ("Amadeo's Little Spire"), constructed 1507-1510.
