Cardinal Gian Girolamo Albani, protonotary apostolic was an influential politician, jurist, scholar and diplomat. His finely crafted tomb is set against the left pillar by the entrance of the Costa Chapel. The Late Renaissance monument is one of the main works of Giovanni Antonio Paracca (also known as Il Valsoldo). The monument is crowned with the coat-of-arms of the cardinal held by two putti.
