Carnesecchi, Bernardo di Cristoforo di Berto di Grazzino di Durante

Description

Given that his father Cristoforo (Cristofano) and uncle Zanobi died about two decades prior to the date on their tomb in Santa Maria Maggiore, it seems likely that Bernardo commissioned the monument together with his cousins Berto and Manetto di Zanobi Carnesecchi. Interestingly, they asked the stone carver to use Gothic style lettering, perhaps out of the desire to make the monument look older than it was, even as it carried the date 1436.
