Church facade (↑)
The tomb is situated in the Lancellotti's chapel, the fourth chapel in the left aisle of the church.
Orazio Lancellotti's tomb is located on the left side of the chapel.
The tomb is decorated with a bust and an incision.
Unfortunately, the engraving in the gravestone is difficult to read. Above this engraving, however, you can admire the characteristic coat of arms of the Lancellotti's family.
