Inside the Oratory of the Holy Sepulcher you can admire the statuary group titled Compianto su Cristo Morto, or Lamentation: eight full-size statues made by Guido Mazzoni, an amazing terracotta sculptor from Modena who had moved to work in the court of Alfonso II of Aragon.
This statuary group is one of his greatest masterpieces, and in it you can recognize Alfonso II in the thick, bald Joseph of Arimathea, as well as the features of his father Ferdinando Primo in Nicodemus's stunned features.
