Notes

  • [a] The earliest surviving record of S. Procolo comes from a document recording property transfers by Bishop Atto to the Florentine canonry. The mention of "terram Sancti Proculi" indicates the preexistence of the church
  • [b] enlarged church
  • [c] priors of new republic met in S. Procolo before moving to Badia's Torre della Castagna and ultimately their new Palazzo della Signoria
  • [d] reoriented church 180 degrees so that entrance that had been on west end was now on east
  • [e] updated interior decoration
  • [f] usufruct given to Abbot of Badia Fiorentina who thenceforth chose priors
  • [g] At the division of Florence into 48 parishes, S. Procolo was one of 12 churches named as a priory
