Sepulchre of the Della Gherardesca family

This is the top part of a sepulchre dedicated to the Della Gherardesca Family, sculpted by Lupo di Francesco in the first half of the 14th Century. The marble and polychrome sculpture originates from the Church of Saint Francesco. The Gherardeschi or della Gherardesca were a family of the Republic of Pisa of Longobard origin, dating back as early as the 11th Century. They were one of the most prominent in Pisa by the middle of the 13th Century. They were of Ghibelline sympathies and held the county of Donoratico. There is a Gherardesca Chapel in the church of Saint Francis in Pisa.此为一座献给德拉·盖拉尔代斯卡（Della Gherardesca）家族的陵墓上部结构，由卢波·迪·弗朗切斯科（Lupo di Francesco）于14世纪上半叶雕刻完成。这件彩饰大理石雕塑源自圣方济各教堂（Church of Saint Francis）。盖拉尔代斯基（Gherardeschi，亦称德拉·盖拉尔代斯卡）家族为比萨共和国（Republic of Pisa）的贵族家族，其血统可追溯至伦巴第（Longobard）族群，历史最早可至11世纪早期。至13世纪中叶，该家族已是比萨地区最具影响力的家族之一。该家族持吉伯林派（Ghibelline）立场，并领有多纳托里科（Donoratico）伯国。比萨的圣方济各教堂内设有盖拉尔代斯卡家族礼拜堂。
