The Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto is a funerary monument by the sculptor Jacopo della Quercia, created between 1406 and 1408 on commission from Paolo Guinigi for his wife Ilaria del Carretto. It is preserved in the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca.
In February 1403, the marriage of the lord of Lucca, Paolo Guinigi, to Ilaria del Carretto is celebrated. On December 8, 1405, at the age of 26, Ilaria dies following her second childbirth. The sarcophagus is commissioned from Jacopo della Quercia, who takes two years to complete it. It is placed in the cathedral, a symbol of Guinigi's social supremacy. Installed in the left transept since 1842, the monument was moved to the sacristy in 1995.
