Tomb of Gerardo Bianchi da Parma
On the pier between Capella Corsini and Cappella Antonelli, between a confessional and a blocked oval window, is the tomb of Gerardo Bianchi da Parma, Cardinal of St. Sabina, first Dean of the basilica. The tomb is the work of a Roman workshop of the day. It is a slab-tomb, which has been removed from its position and placed on the front of a sarcophagus. The Bishop lies in his robes, at full length. There is a long inscription, now partly hidden by a confessional.
