HISTORICAL CRITICAL NEWS
The plaque attests to the will of Count Maria Scotti of Vigoleno, fiefdom of Sarmato, that a mass for the deceased be celebrated in perpetuity at the altar of the chapel by means of a legacy, a will recorded in the document drawn up by the Piacenza notary Agostino Pellegrini dated 12 October 1596. Scotti da Vigoleno and Sarmato (see AA. VV., The ancient families of Piacenza and their coats of arms, Piacenza 1979) were one of the most powerful families, already settled in Piacenza since feudal times, a city that still retains some palaces today noble buildings they erected (see AM Matteucci, Palazzi di Piacenza dal Barocco al Neoclassicismo, Turin 1979)
