Subject

Sepulchral monument of Francesco Tornabuoni in the church of St. Mary above Minerva

Description

Table XIII
Who is the face on the wall to look at the left door of the church of St. Mary on top of Minerva presents this store. Two shelves will support the plan with the two side posts and placed upon the frame form the interior of a room, where rich coffin lies stretched over a gentle boy. to which race and which country was this flower of youth and beauty, which forms here the teacher portrayed in marble by Mino da Fiesole, you would know that the two arms of noble hang hanging on the walls of the room, one of Florence and the other of the Tornabuoni, if not better than declare the entry governed by two ribbons and ornaments noble is in the middle of the urn. Since we know it as the one who sleeps the eternal sleep that Francis was a nice house, which granted the years of living with pain of all and in especially way the Pontiff Sixtus IV which was extortionate. And if I want a mind not so much love that he wore Sisto as to the state of his family, wealth and powerful mercantile credit in that not to be related to the Doctors, you will learn how to light the bitter death of him dying from grass in a splendid life of hopes and honors. Between the two arms that already hang on the wall, seeing a circle of blazing light in which Jesus is crucified, perhaps to indicate how his glory was taken to the soul of the deceased is more pure and shining with all worldly glory. Just look at this monument to judge him worthy of holding a gem in the sculpture of the sixteenth century, which of all the connoisseurs of this art is judged the statue of Mino.
