Fra' Carlo Ignazio Ordoño de Rosales, a Milanese patrician, belonging to a conspicuous family from Spain, was born on 18 August 1742 to the Marquis of Castelleone Gaspare Carlo (1709-1791) and his wife Daria dei Conti Gambarana. He was received as a minor in 1774. He was Commander of Saints William and Damian of Pavia; and supported the offices of Receiver and Lieutenant of the Grand Prior of Lombardy in Milan. He died in Venice, in San Samuele, in the house of Count Francesco Galantino where he lived, on October 3, 1802. Since the agent of the Marquis Ordoño de Rosales opposed the burial of the deceased in the Prioral Church, Comm. Benvenuti, who held the position of Receiver in Venice, appealed to the Government with an application of May 4 and obtained that the coffin be buried there, having always been customary for the knights who died in Venice to be buried there. In fact, this tombstone, as the inscription says, was placed at the care and expense of the Order: "Diva Religios mater pientissima".
