Abstract

The ecclesiastics always had privileges for their own burials. Since the early Christian age, popes, bishops and deacons had the privilege of being buried inside the catacombs, near the burials of the martyrs. In the 12th century, the practice of creating monumental structures became widespread, with the function of attesting to the memory of the individual. The desire to emerge individually in the Roman Curia meant that prominent ecclesiastical figures built impressive sepulchral monuments located in the most important city churches.
