"Here Lies
Nicolaus Perelli of Naples
From the noble family of Montis Staracis,
who, having served excellently as magistrate
of the Apostolic Chamber,
was admitted into the Sacred College of Cardinals
by Pope Clement XIII
on the 8th day before the Kalends of October (September 24), 1759.
His outstanding service to the state,
by strengthening the port of Ancona
with breakwaters and embankments
under his supervision,
greatly enhanced the commerce
of the Papal States.
He lived for 75 years, 4 months, and 4 days.
He died on the 6th day before the Kalends of March (February 24), 1772."
