Sažetak
According to the documents from the family fonds, kept in the State Archives in Zadar, the article elaborates the tomb of the Filippi family, located in the old Zadar City Cemetery, founded in 1820. The well-known Zadar landowner and philanthropist Donato Filippi (1832 – 1912) had the tomb built during his lifetime, and his son Alessandro Filippi (1874 – 1938) most likely restored it during the Italian administration. Zadar stonemasonry workshops built the architectural foundation of the tomb in two phases. The work on the original tomb was done in 1889 and 1890 by a workshop run by masons and altar constructors Giuseppe Cassani and Domenico Gasparini (G. Cassani e D. Gasparini), while the current form largely presents the intervention of the stonemasonry company of the Donati family (N. Donati & figlio) who remodeled and restored the tomb in 1935. According to the preserved correspondence between the client Donato Filippi and the Lapini sculpture studio from Florence, it was established that the marble statue of the angel placed on the tomb in 1902 was built by Cesare Lapini, a well-known and respected Florentine sculptor. As confirmation of the mentioned correspondence, a signature was noted on the back of the statue: LAPINI / FIRENZE / 1902.
