Baptistry
To the right is the monument of Francesco Cardinal Castiglione (d. 1568), whose bust is above his urn of paonazzetto. The veined marble sarcophagus is placed on a high base which is decorated with the coats-of-arms of the Cardinal. The marble wall is flanked by Corinthian pilasters and crowned with a heavily articulated cornice and pediment. The realistic portrait bust of the deceised is set in an oval niche and a Latin inscription says: "I wait until my change comes".
