It was commissioned by Innocenzo Casari and his brother Giovanni Casari in compliance with the will of Giovanni Innocenzo Casari (died 19 September 1530), a third brother's son, which stipulated the erection of an altar dedicated to the Holy Innocents in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista.[1] Innocenzo was superior general of a monastery of Lateran Canons attached to that church and Giovanni its prior.
