Notes

  • [a] At some point after Rosselli's sepoltuario (1657) but before Richa's description (1759), the chapel was conceded to the della Stufa family, who moved their altarpiece into it, an occurrence that has caused some confusion in the literature.
  • [b] It is not known when the Ghiberti installed their family tomb in the Badia, but Giovanni di Ghiberto was buried in it in 1363. In 1520, the last of the Ghiberti, mona Agnoletta Altoviti, was laid to rest in the tomb, after which it passed to her Altoviti relatives.
