Sincere and also the author of this monument located in the cloister of the said church of St. Mary Above Minerva. If, however, we do not detect his work and gave the name , well it reveals the prowess of him, and that taste for ornamentation and architecture for exquisite style with which I have dealt with figures in bas-relief , this was reputation for his work in one of the best of that time. Easy as a whole so that the author seems not to place and will study hard to compose it ; to lower and one of the two pillars of the Corinthian order sources are collected by two pedestals where the arms of the deceased cardinal , end I gave to a architrave with frieze and cornice which closes the monument . Between the pillars, on the base, and precisely on a pedestal adorned with small pods, you see a magnificent carvings flanking urn with a plaque, which in a nutshell is manifest as the one that lies above it in bishop's robes were the cardinal of S. And protector of the Church and of Preachers. And it was these Cardinal Peter Ferrici for his doctrine so much forward to the estimate of Popes Paul II and Pope Sixtus IV to be into the management of state affairs, reveals another inscription incised on the base. The cause us to back and top of the urn in seven mirrors, the three largest of which contain two of a graceful candelabrum, one, the middle one, a cross. On these compartments scrolls a frame to put ovules and pods and Marente in the two pillars. And the space between it and the lintel and filled by a bezel where you admire the Virgin Mary with the divine son Jesus placed between two angels that genuflect before. From these figures we learn as looks matter sometimes come alive under the hand of the artist to make believe for a moment that descended to inform the spirit. This happens when the author rose with the mind up to the mentioned transforming of the power in the hand of marble in almost convey their thoughts. Of course those are marble figures, but there was in their faces that I do not know if that is not pure and radiant and earthly thing, perhaps a reflection where the eternal light of God to beautify the face of the heavenly creatures.
