This is the tomb of Petro Mauroceno, according to the inscription. He died in 1683, aged 72. The sculptor of this tomb, and that of Petro's brother Giorgio facing it, was Giusto Le Court, who died in 1679. This may seem a little odd, but if you can enlarge the inscription you will see that spaces were left for the year of Petro's death and his age, and these were filled in later.
