starting with tripods and terminating in crosses; the Corinthian capitals feature dolphins. The whole sepulchre is crowned by a pedimented gable like a church facade with the relief of God, the father in the glory of Heaven. The figure of God is enclosed in a mandorla and surrounded with cherub heads. The gable is flanked with two flaming urns and volutes. Tomb of Francesco Abbondio Castiglioni The other tomb on the right wall was built for the Milanese Cardinal Francesco Abbondio Castiglioni, a participant of the Council of Trent, who died in 1568. The monument was erected by his heir, Count Palatine Giuseppe Castiglioni who executed the cardinal's will. It also served as a monument to another member of the family, Gian Giacomo, the Bishop of Bari (†1513). Similarly to the tomb of Antoniotto Pallavicini, the large monument didn't fit into the frame of the earlier painted architecture although it was designed for its present space from the beginning. The sculptor of the sepulchre remains unknown but stylistically the tomb belongs to the group of Michelangelesque monuments very common in Rome in the decades following the death of the great artist. As Enrico Parlato described it shows "a frozen and ′vacuumed′ Michelangelism in the dilatation of the space and the reduction of the ornament, the architectural idea coherently represented in sculpture in the austere bust of the deceased." The wall monument takes the form of an aedicule with the high base bearing the long dedicatory inscription and decorated with the coats-of-arms of the Cardinal. The red tassels and the hats on the heraldic reliefs are the only painted surfaces. The aedicule itself is flanked by cable-fluted pilasters with Composite capitals and crowned with a heavily articulated cornice and pediment. The realistic portrait bust of the deceased is set in an oval niche and a Latin inscription says: EXPECTO DONEC VENIAT IMMUTATIO MEA (I wait, till my change comes, Job 14:14), a reference to resurrection. The material of the aedicule is white marble but the voluted sarcophagus was created from gray-veined Pavonazzo marble. It rests on bases decorated with triglyps and guttae. The tomb slab of Giovanni Montemirabile is built in the floor. "The well-shaped, intellectual, but slightly cynical, face has suffered little injury from time." The slab is framed by a wide band of swirling oak branches, a symbol of the Della Rovere family, and a visual reference to the
