Cappella di San Francesco
Cappella di Savelli
Under the tomb and pavement lies Luca Savelli, father of Honorius IV, and Senator of Rome, who died in 1266. The upper portion of the tomb is beautifully ornamented in Cosmati mosaic. The statuette of the Madonna in the niche, a beautiful little work, is possibly by Arnolfo, who may even have designed the whole of the upper part of the tomb.
