Melegatti monument

AUTHOR: Enrico Bragantini

  • 1912
  • stylobate CLXXXIX

Dedicated to the Melegatti family, the monument consists of a rectangular Norwegian labrador marble shrine with a bronze relief in the center. The scene represents the Savior as he welcomes the souls of the members of the Melegatti family and invites them to climb the ladder of paradise. The monument is completed by two small angels placed at the sides: the one on the right sleeps kneeling with a book closed in his hand and represents death, the one on the left is kneeling but awake and turns to the souls in the background with an olive branch in hand, symbolizing the resurrection. Both are located near bronze parallelepipeds surmounted by funerary lanterns.
