It's time I posted some of the pictures I took on San Clemente. There's no point making them 'mystery photos', as I doubt that many of you will have visited the island - tell me if I'm wrong.
There are two large tombs, one on either side of the nave. They are the tombs of Petro (sic) and Giorgio Mauroceno (Morosini). Each monument has a pair of Atlantes supporting a sarcophagus. This image shows the head of one of the Atlantes on Giorgio's tomb. There is an inscription on each tomb, but they're in Latin. All I can tell you is that Giorgio died in 1676.
