many of the statues he created in naples were removed to spain by the viceroys then in charge of the kingdom of naples on behalf of the spanish crown. when the viceroy ramón de cardona died in naples in 1522, da nola built his tomb in naples, but it was then transported piece by piece to bellpuig where da cardona was buried. it remains one of the main examples of italian renaissance art in catalonia.
