Giovanni Bianchi’s Tomb

This funeral monument of Giovanni Bianchi (aka Ianus Plancus) can be seen in the church of Sant’Agostino in Rimini (via Isotta, 1), near the entrance portal on the left.

It is quite surprising this sentence from the Latin inscription: “NASCITUR INFELIX, VIXIT INFELICIOR, OBIIT INFELICISSIME” (He was born unhappy, he lived more unahappy, he died maximally unhappy).
