From tombstones to funerary monuments, these captivating sculptures offer a glimpse into the rich history of Italy's artistic heritage. In the Trenta Chapel of the Church of Saint Frediano in Lucca, lies the Tombstone of Lorenzo Trenta's wife. Delicately carved with intricate details, it stands as a testament to love and devotion that transcends time. Another gem from Lucca is The Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto, created by Jacopo della Quercia. Located in St. Martin's Cathedral, this masterpiece captures both beauty and sorrow, showcasing Quercia's mastery over sculpting emotions. Venturing further into Tuscany, we encounter Pietro di Maestro's gravestone at Pisa's Camposanto Cemetery. Crafted by Antonio di Santo Pietro, it epitomizes elegance and reverence for departed souls. The Trenta Chapel also houses another remarkable piece - the Tombstone of Lorenzo Trenta himself. Its grandeur reflects his status while honoring his memory within the hallowed walls. Moving on to Rome, we discover Isaia da Pisa's Monument to Alessandro Spagnolo in Collegio dei Piceni. This sculpture exudes grace and sophistication as it pays homage to an esteemed figure from history. Mino da Fiesole graces us with his talent through Madonna with Child at Santa Brigida Church in Rome. This divine creation showcases Mino's ability to breathe life into stone as he depicts maternal tenderness with incredible precision. At Basilica of Santa Cecilia in Trastevere rests Cardinal Niccol Forteguerri’s Funerary monument – a work by Mino da Fiesole that captivates viewers with its intricacy and attention to detail.
