 With the canonisation process initiated, Cloche commissioned the "Sarcophagus for Pope Pius V" (1697–98) of verde antico marble which was to be integrated into the existing papal tomb monument in the Cappella Sistina in Santa Maria Maggiore.Its main function is to contain the saint's body and make it visible to the faithful for veneration on limited occasions.Usually, however, it was to be hidden by a flap made of gilded bronze which bears his effigy in very shallow relief.
