To Nicholas, Count of Bielke, born in Stockholm, relative of the kings of Sweden, and chamberlain. For his Catholic faith, with singular constancy of mind, after leaving behind his dearest wife, ancestral estates, and honors in his homeland, he journeyed to Pope Clement XII. Having renounced the detested Lutheran sect, he was received with papal favor in the Quirinal Palace. Proclaimed Senator of the City with the approval of all orders and Christian princes, He fulfilled his duties as magistrate with the utmost fairness for 28 years. Favored by the Roman Pontiffs and honored by the praises of the Capitoline Senate, He established his family as his heir and directed that his fortune be distributed individually by the judgment of Antonio Casali, the Prefect of the City, Who, for his most excellent and pious friend, arranged for this monument to be erected at his own expense. He lived 60 years and died on the day before the Ides of June, 1765.
