The four Evangelists &#8212;Mark, Luke, John &amp; Matthew&#8212; with their corresponding symbols flank larger depictions of Jesus &amp; Mary. The descent of Christ from the cross is also shown in a lower center relief. Other works by Troiani in Recoleta Cemetery include a massive statue topping the <a href=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/?p=66\">Familia Manuel Cerini<\/a> tomb as well as sculptures for the <a href=\"https:\/\/recoletacemetery.com\/?p=10\">Familia D&#8217;onofrio<\/a>.

Instinct leads me to believe they are part of the Uruguay-based Peirano family, known for owning a huge number of businesses in South America including banks, public transportation plus supermarket chains Santa Isabel in Chile &amp; Disco in Argentina (often gathered under the Grupo Velox brand). Uruguayan courts found three of four Peirano brothers guilty of <a href=\"https:\/\/es.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Caso_Peirano\">money laundering &amp; fraud<\/a> in 2013&#8230; but are their relatives here in Buenos Aires?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only plaque on the mausoleum lists four burials from the mid-20th century, with no trace of anyone on the internet.
