Description

Table IV
At the time that Sixtus IV Celebrated harmony with the Christian principles, he even raised a temple to the Virgin Mary under the invocation of peace and made at a monastery- precisely in the cloister of this , that and the work of Bramante Lazzari , as the shy Militia recognized many mediocre things also saw the columns of the second order lay in the middle of the arches of the porch and one does not know that the contrast of the lower arch of the architecture above , the deposit is designed by Knight Tosi and recorded in the this table - Three shelves overhanging the wall supporting a large base in the midst of which the ministry is seen hanging horizontally in two bands , and flanked by two noble arms surmounted by miter . Two nimble pillars arise on this basis supporting an entablature and an elegant close between a hara on which lies a man dressed in the clothes of bishops with overlapping hands to his chest. An inscription on the anterior face in the year 1497 reveals the name and dignity of Andrew Bocciacci jurist and bishop of Modena, a man of great stature, in which Pope Sixtus saw to Ferdinand, King of Sicily, and the successors Innocent VIII and Alexander VI in the Hercules, Duke of Ferrara, who is not in the Inquisition for heretics to Savoin. In the sides of the coffin many books are overlapped one another , perhaps to symbolize, or perhaps to signify the product was extinct, or perhaps better to indicate that here rests on the fame of his doctrine. Some nimble and light festoons formed bells running from one capital to the other side of the pillars on the space that lies between the urns with elegant coffered ceiling. It is not known who the author of this deposit was.
