Over the entrance to the gift shop/museum is the tomb of Pope Innocent III, made by Giuseppe Lucchetti in 1891. He was one of the most powerful and influential popes of the 13th century. Pope Innocent had died and was buried at Perugia in 1216, but Pope Leo had his remains brought here. The monument shows the pope's effigy reclining on a draped sarcophagus, and above the tympanum of the arch contains sculptures of Christ accompanied by SS Francis and Dominic (the pope had authorized their new Orders).
