The essay presents and discusses an as yet unknown work by Carlo Marchionni, which still survives in the sacristy of the Roman church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva: a small monument in honour of Benedict XI, a member of the Dominican Order who was elected Pope at the beginning of the fourteenth century. New documents are also published about the sculptures made by Marchionni for the monumental tomb of Benedict XIII, which he designed in the same church. New light is shed, in particular, on the chronology of this outstanding work as well as on Marchionni's relationship with both the Dominicans and Cardinal Alessandro Albani, who was his most important patron.
