The funeral monument of Princess Maria Flaminia Odescalchi Chigi

The funeral monument of Princess Maria Flaminia Odescalchi Chigi — also known as the last Baroque tomb in Rome — is the most exuberant grave monument in the church of Santa Maria del Popolo. The design by Paolo Posi (1772) was clearly inspired by Bernini. The oak tree was the symbol of the Chigis and is also seen multiple times elsewhere in the church.
