Translation

For Francesco Beneventi repentant metropolitan canon of the church, who while he took care of this house for fifteen years with an extraordinary sense of duty and the greatest affection, chose this tomb for himself as evidence of his notable love. The nuns with many tears placed it for their most noble Father, a most vigorous man. He lived 73 years. He died in the year of our Lord 1605.
