Tomb of Stasio d'Heustasio

The image of the power of a family

The stone monument is located on the right wall of the Cathedral of Teggiano and is dated 1472.

It is commonly attributed to Francesco da Sicignano, who created the side portal of the church, also commissioned by the noble d'Heusstasio family, known in Teggiano in the 15th century.

However, it has recently been proposed that the sculptor of the monument was Angelo de Mingo, who might also be the author of the figurative parts of the church of the Pietà in Teggiano.

The client is Stasio d'Heusstasio himself a knight, as we read in the inscription:

“HOC OPUS FIERI FECIT STASIUS DE HEUSTASIO MILES SUB ANNO D(OMI)NI MCCCCLXXII”.
