Monuments in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo
This elaborate Baroque monument set against the third pillar of the south aisle has several peculiarities. It is crowned by the coat-of-arms of Pope Nicholas IV (Girolamo Masci) but this medieval pope was buried in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The monument in Santa Maria del Popolo was built for his late descendant, Count Masci-Ferracuti from Ascoli Piceno who was appointed to the Bishop of Vieste by Pope Sixtus V in 1589. He died in Rome in 1613 at the age of 60 years. He was buried with solemn pomp in a marble tomb in the basilica. The tomb was built by her niece, Anastasia Mascia and her husband, Marzio Elefantucci, a nobleman from Bologna. Under the pretense of honouring their uncle they built a monument for the most illustrious member of their family, Pope Nicholas IV whose name is mentioned twice in the funerary inscription.
Santa Maria della Concordia
Santa Maria della Concordia is a baroque-style, Roman Catholic church, located on the Piazza of the same name in Naples, region of Campania, Italy.
The church was erected in 1556 using designs by the Carmelite priest Giuseppe Romano. It was restored in the 18th century by the architect Giovan Battista Nauclerio. In 1735, Nicola Tagliacozzi Canale was involved in the refurbishment of the interiors.
The 18th-century facade is elaborate, built on a high plinth of piperno dominated by two pairs of pilasters of composite order. Near the door of the sacristy, is a painting depicting a "Virgin and St Michael", attributed to Jusepe de Ribera, though some attribute it to Bernardo Azzolino. To the left of the entrance is a tomb of Gaspare Benemerino, who died in 1641, and claimed to be son of the King of Fez. As mentioned in the inscription, he converted, and joining the armies of Philip III of Spain, he fought against his former countrymen.
