The Memorial to Ippolito Merenda is a funerary monument designed by the Italian artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini between 1636 and 1638. Along with the similar monument for Alessandro Valtrini this artwork was a startling new approach to funerary monuments incorporating dynamic flowing inscriptions being dragged by a moving figure of death. It is in the church of San Giacomo alla Lungara in Rome. Merenda was a from Cesena in Emilia Romagna.
