MODESTY

2.36

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.

To the left you can see his mother's grave, who died when the prince was just an infant. She is symbolized by the statue of Modesty, which depicts a woman wrapped in a subtle, semi-transparent veil: its Venetian creator Francesco Corradini, a veil-carving specialist, made his absolute masterpiece here.
