To the left is the impressive monument to Cardinal Santorio, from about 1631, with a very good half-length portrait bust in an arched niche over his epitaph, the composition being treated as if he were praying at a lectern. The bust is the work of Giuliano Finelli, a pupil and collaborator of Bernini. Below, the sarcophagus has a relief carving of The Pelican in Her Piety, and there is a pair of Composite columns in black marble.
