This plaque is placed on the outside wall of the chapel and it reads:

"L'elegante impianto sepolcrale a croce greca fu commissionato da Ludovico Ghisilardi a Baldassarre Peruzzi e realizzato nel 1530-34 sotto la direzione di J. Ranuzzi. La cappella venne occultata da C.F. Dotti nel 1731, ricostruita nella facciata da R. Faccioli nel 1909-10, è stata integralmente restaurata e riaperta al pubblico nel 2003. Unico esempio di monumentalità romana e trionfale, è caratterizzato dal gigantismo dell'ordine e dall'entrata di luce dall'alto. La cappella, il cui fulcro è costituito dall'impianto sepolcrale di matrice "antiquaria", è arricchita dai risalti architettonici in arenaria di A. Lombardi e dall'altare tardo cinquecentesco di P. Fiorini, su cui è stata ricollocata la pala raffigurante il Cristo in gloria di L. Sabbatini."
