![This image shows a bronze bust of a man in religious attire, likely a friar, mounted on a light-colored rectangular plaque against a textured, beige wall. The bust is dark green and depicts the man with a stern expression, holding a book in his left arm and a key in his right hand. Below the bust is a reddish-brown stone tablet with an inscription. The plaque behind the bust has a geometric pattern of raised lines that converge towards the center. The wall surrounding the plaque exhibits signs of age and wear, with cracks and discoloration.
This sculpture is located in the **Basilica of Saint Anthony of Padua, Italy**, specifically in the cloister. The inscription on the tablet reads: "P. FRANC. CANTORIO VALLOTTI 1697-1780 / MINOR CONVENTUAL / XXX ANNI INSIGNE MAESTRO / DELLA MUSICALE ANTONIANA / [illegible] 1994". This identifies the subject as Father Francesco Antonio Vallotti, a Franciscan friar and organist who lived from 1697 to 1780, and notes his significant role in the Antonian musical tradition. The tablet also commemorates 30 years of his service. The date "1994" likely refers to the year the monument was erected or rededicated.](https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/patr-3a75e.appspot.com/o/uploads%2Fimage_picker_1cc55340-937a-4d6c-9.jpg?alt=media)
