He was stabbed to death by Guglielmo da Carrara, illegitimate son of Giacomo I. Giacomo was buried in the church of Sant'Agostino in Padua in a sumptuous funeral monument, where an inscription was placed in elegiac Latin verses composed by his friend Francesco Petrarca. In 1820, when the church was demolished, the monument was moved to the Church of the Eremitani, where it is still located. The picture shows the tomb of Giacomo II da Carrara with the epitaph of Petrarca. ## Related artworks - [Funerary Monument of Marsilio da Carrara]() - [Interior view of the Cappella di San Giacomo Maggiore]() - [Lunette of the main portal \(detail\)]() - [Lunette of the main portal]() - [Main portal]() - [Monument to Duccio degli Alberti]() - [Portal]() - [Tomb of Giacomo I da Carrara]() - [Tomb of Giacomo II da Carrara]() - [Tomb of Ubertino da Carrara \(detail\)]() - [Tomb of Ubertino da Carrara \(detail\)]() - [Tomb of Ubertino da Carrara \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
