In 1650 the Confraternity of Santa Caterina da Siena placed the funeral monument dedicated to Lorenzo De Rossi on the wall of the hallway that, from the second chapel on the right, leads to the rector’s house of the Church of Santa Caterina da Siena in Rome (via Giulia, 151).
The Latin inscription states as follows:
LAVRENTIO DE RVBEIS NOBILI SENENSI/ MEDICAE ARTIS PERITIA/ ET MORVM PROBITATE CONSPICVO/ QVI OPIBVS NON MODICIS/ TESTAMENTO RELICTIS/ QVOTIDIANA HIC ET ANNIVERSARIS SACRA/ SIBI FIERI/ ATQVE ANNIS SINGVLIS/ DE RELIQVA PROVENTVVM PARTE/ PLVRES AD CONIVGIVM PVELLAS SENENSES DOTAR/ CENTENIS LEGAVIT/ SODALITAS S. CATHERINAE SENENSIS HAERES EX ASSE/ EI BENEFICII MEMOR POSVIT ANNO IVBILEI/ MDCL.
