This reliefA sculptural work in which all or part projects from the flat surface.

Following the destruction of the church in 1509, the relief was moved, first to the church of San Giacomo (in 1530) and later (between 1811 and 1817) to the Lazara Palace.

Donors sometimes had their portraits included in the work they were donating as a sign of piety., who probably held the office of Prevesto della SS Trinità.
