1478/80 Giuliano Giamberti aka Giuliano
da Sangallo (1445/1516) for Cardinal Giuliano Della Rovere who later
became Pope Julius II (1503/13)
The first
dates back to the end of the fifteenth century
The second
to the years 1503/12:
Fine marble
relief inserted in the wall “Annunciation to the Shepherds, Nativity and Lavender
of Christ”
by an anonymous sculptor of the fifteenth century
“Fountain”
by Domenico Fontana (1543/1607)
“Cenotaph of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475/1564 )” who had his first tomb in the
adjacent Basilica of the Holy Apostles
The
recumbent figure is, in fact, maybe the philosopher Ferdinando Eustachio who
died in 1594
On
February 18, 1564 the funeral of Michelangelo Buonarroti took place in the
Basilica of the Holy Apostles. Eighteen days after the funeral, his nephew
Leonardo stole the body and carried it in a cart covered with cloths to
Florence, where it was buried in the church of Santa Croce
