Tomb of Cardinal Clusiano Casate
On the opposite wall is the Cosmatesque tomb of the Milanese Clusiano Cardinal Casate, son of the Count of Milan, who died in 1287 of plague or malaria. The portions of the tomb and fragments of Cosmati ornament which remain are survivals from the fires which destroyed the Basilica in 1308 and 1360.
