[b] According to Gregorio Farulli's history of the Angeli (1710, p. 13), Sandro di Simone da Quarata was given rights to the high altar chapel, which was conceded to the Montalvi (Ramirez de Montalvo) family in 1580. George Bent (1993, p. 724) published the anniversary mass for Sandro da Quarata among those celebrated in December. Sandro had left ten lire for a perpetual anniversary mass on December 7th, the day after the feast of St. Nicholas, as Bent transcribed from ASF, Corporazioni Religiosi Soppresse, 86, Registro Nuovo 96, fol. 8v. Stefano Rosselli noted that the monastery's sepoltuario of 1580 included two coats of arms, though he did not identify the families. One is clearly that of the Quaratesi with a shield carrying a silver eagle on a blue ground in the upper portion and a gold field below, while the other is almost certainly that of the Gaddi family with a gold cross on a blue shield. Rosselli states that these arms were no longer visible in his day and had likely been removed after the Ramirez de Montalvo family obtained patronage rights and began to renovate the chapel.
[c] After being rebuffed by the Franciscans at Santa Croce for his offer to build a marble facade on their church, Castello Quaratesi turned his attention to the Observant community on the hillside above his neighborhood. His desires clashed with the Franciscan vow of poverty, and work did not progress before his death. Castello's former guild was left in charge and after a structurally unsound building was finished in1498, it was renovated significantly starting the next year and consecrated in 1504.
