Left Aisle and Monuments
The monument on the last pillar of the north aisle was dedicated to Camilla Buonvisi from Lucca by his husband, Vincenzo Parenzi. It is made of colored marbles. The stone plaque is decorated with the Parenzi-Buonvisi coat-of-arms in the gable and the skull and crossbones at lower part. There is a winged cherub above the escutcheon. The long inscription states that Parenzi, a consistorial counsellor "has lived with her for thirty years in a variety of events, yet without the least breach or interruption of perfect harmony". The noble lady died in 1579 at the age of 53 years.
