Tomb of Giovanni and Piero de' Medici, Renaissance grave in San Lorenzo Church, Florence, Italy
The tomb features a sarcophagus set within an archway, incorporating colored marble, serpentinite, porphyry, and bronze ornamentation throughout its 358-centimeter height.
Lorenzo de Medici commissioned Andrea del Verrocchio to create this memorial for his father Piero and uncle Giovanni between 1469 and 1472.
