HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
The seventeenth-century tombstone appears to be the result of an assembly between two parts created in different interventions: the upper sector, with larger capital characters, recalls the munificence towards the hospital of the brothers Paolo Emilio and Claudio Scotti, benefactors in 1675 and 1679 respectively ( see "The benefactors", in "The Hospital of Piacenza (1471-1934)", Piacenza 1934, p. 75), while the lower sector shows the name of the rectors of the institution and the date 1680
