By 1558 Vincenzo had begun two important works in Rome, the marble tombs of Agnolo Cesi and his wife Francesca Carduli, figural bronzes and stuccoed reliefs in the Cesi Chapel in Santa Maria della Pace, and the marble group depicting Paris and Helen (1558-60; Boboli Gardens, Florence).
The picture shows the tomb of Francesca Carduli. The sleeping figure of Agnolo Cesi is by de' Rossi, but the sphinxes are attributed to Simone Mosca (1492-1553).
