Stefano died in the night of July 4, 1327, after a banquet he gave for the coronation of Louis the Bavarian as King of Italy .
Stefano's contemporaries linked his death to an attempted poisoning of the King, leading to the imprisonment of three of Stefano's four brothers, Galeazzo , Giovanni , and Luchino , as well as of his nephew, the future Lord of Milan, Azzo Visconti , in the fortress of Monza : This event marked a crisis of the relations between the Holy Roman Empire and the Visconti.
The magnificent tomb of Stefano and his wife Valentina, carved in 1359 by Bonino da Campione , is located in the Basilica Sant'Eustorgio in Milan.
