Blessed Ludovica Albertoni
''Blessed Ludovica Albertoni'' ((イタリア語:Beata Ludovica Albertoni)) is a funerary monument by the Italian Baroque artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini.〔Wittkower 1955, p. 294.〕 The trastevere sculpture is located in the specially designed Altieri Chapel in the Church of San Francesco a Ripa in Rome, Italy.〔Avery 1997, p. 151.〕 Bernini started the project in 1671, but his work on two other major works—''The Tomb of Pope Alexander VII'' and the ''Altar of the Blessed Sacrament'' in St. Peter's Basilica—delayed his work on the funerary monument. Bernini completed the sculpture in 1674;〔Wittkower 1955, p. 295.〕[Perlove 1990〕 it was installed by August 31, 1674.〔Bernini 2011, p. 412.〕]
==Background==
The subject of the sculpture, Ludovica Albertoni, was a Roman noblewoman who entered the Third Order of St. Francis following the death of her husband.〔 She lived a pious life, working for the poor of the Trastevere neighborhood, under the guidance of the Franciscan friars of San Francesco Church, where she was buried in 1533.〔 One of her descendants, Cardinal Paluzzo Paluzzi degli Albertoni, had a nephew who married the niece of Pope Clement X, who in turn formally adopted the cardinal as his own nephew and allowed him to take the pontiff's own surname, "Altieri".〔 Pope Clement beatified Cardinal Albertoni's ancestor, granting her the title of "Blessed". The cardinal then commissioned major improvements to her chapel in the Church of San Francesco, which had become the site of her ''cultus''. After several artists competed to do the work, Bernini was awarded the commission, and took on the project without pay.〔〔Wittkower 1955, pp. 295-96.〕 He was 71 years old when he began the work, and it was one of his last sculptures.
Some scholars have questioned the 1671 start date, pointing to a document showing that Bernini purchased the white marble for the statue on February 7, 1674. This would have placed the start in late 1673, meaning the artist executed the work in six months. The sculpture was installed by August 31, 1674.〔
