The tomb of Ludovico Podocataro can be seen in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome (Piazza del Popolo, 12).
The noteworthy Podocataro monument is on the right wall of the transept, by the workshop of Bregno. On its left is the corridor leading to the sacristy. It was erected by his nephew Livio Podocataro, apostolic notary, solicitor of the Pontifical Letters, canon of Trevigi and archbishop of Nicosia.
Together with the representation of the four virtues, the Monument to Cardinal Podocataro has the particular Nordic iconography of Christ reclining on the Virgin's knee.
