Translation

For Francesco Benvenuti, metropolitan and penitentiary canon of the church, who after caring for this house for fifteen years with remarkable devotion and the greatest love, chose this tomb for himself as a token of his exceptional affection. The nuns, with many tears, erected it for their most excellent father, a most upright man. He lived 73 years. He died in the year of our Lord 1605.
