Raimondo of Sangro wanted two statues of truly spectacular virtuosity for his parents' tombs at the back of the chapel. He sought artists all over Italy who could accomplish what he had in mind.
The Prince's father, Antonio, led a wild life after the death of his young wife, and later repented it. For this reason, his grave has the statue of a man breaking free from a net, which symbolizes his father waking up and liberating himself from his sins. The spectacular statue is titled Disillusion and is the work of the Genoese sculptor Francesco Queirolo.
