Subject

Sepulchral monument of Beatrice and Lavinia Ponzetti in the church of St. Mary of Peace.

Description

Table IX
In the right part of the last chapel in St. Mary of Peace is this deposit and precisely next to that outlined in Table VI. Point from which it differs, is that you will look at the concept is that you like to consider the general arrangement of the parts, the same rectangular shape, the same movement of festoons, the weapons themselves noble and inclusion at the bottom, in the same round percent flowers and foliage in the upper part. But if you think it is the same with its symmetry and distribution as a whole and in parts, do not induce that one is a copy of the other as from the details. In some of these, especially in the foliage and ornaments, each of them presents new and various styles. The lapidary inscription tells us that in this tomb were closed year 1503 with all joy of Ferdinand Ponzetti dean of Protonotaries apostolic, four years before he would put the other to himself and his family. And what was his delight, such as the hopes and delights from death well you see those expressed by two busts sculpted by the two rounds mentioned: Beatrice and Lavigna, one of age six and the other of eight were taken by the plague, and a tragedy to their uncle who loved them with tenderness. And in fact if we look at all those faces full of grace and innocence, we get to read in the belief that to see them suddenly disappear it cost him pain so severe that he never forgot it. Which lasted, however, as in him four years later, it tries to highlight the melancholy spirant by the words of the inscription which he placed another tomb, and we reported that to table V. We believe, therefore, that he wrote a truth when he wrote about the every sweetness to his live lost with these two beloved nieces gone.
