Notes

  • [a] Francesco de'Macci left provisions in his testament of 1310 to fund a hospital dedicated to Saint Francis, which his son Caio carried out in 1335. In 1349 a Clarissan convent was built adjacent, and their community was placed under the auspices of the friars at nearby Santa Croce in 1483. Andrea del Sarto's Madonna of the Harpies adorned the church high altar after 1517 but was acquired by Duke Ferdinando de'Medici in 1704 when he hired Giovanni Battista Foggini to modernize the church. The institution was suppressed in 1808.
  • [b] elected to represent S. Pier Scheraggio seven times during this time span
