Dalmata's last works are the monument of the Blessed Girolamo Ginelli and the sarcophagus of the Blessed Gabriele Ferretti (1509; Museo Diocesano, Ancona); he also worked on the portal of the convent of San Francesco, Ancona.

Blessed Girolamo Ginelli (1451-1506) was born in a noble Ancona family. He entered the convent of St Sebastian in Ancona at a very young age and in 1477 took the monastic habit of the Franciscan Order. His funerary monument is in the presbytery of Ancona Cathedral.
