Abstract
The essay investigates the tomb of the Beato Pacifico in the Franciscan church of Venice, the Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. The funerary monument, set up on the right transept of the church by 1437, is analysed from a stylistic and typological point of view. The author pays particular attention to the fundamental role played by the commissioner of the tomb, Scipione Bon, whose coat-of-arms are exhibited on the tomb itself and who is buried in a humble tombstone on the ground level, under the huge funerary monument. Iconographic details and the method of management of the relics of the Beato, seems to suggest a precise intervention directed by Scipione who, through his patronage, aimed to show his family undisputed prestige.
