Notes

  • [a] The inventory does not specify which Villani family was responsible for the tabernacle, but considering that the Villani Stoldi lived nearby, it was most likely this Villani lineage responsible for the tabernacle.
  • [b] The chapel is listed in a 1445 inventory as under the patronage of the Villani, who also had dedicated a tabernacle on the high altar. Given that they adorned the high altar tabernacle they sponsored with their coat of arms, it is highly likely that their altar carried them as well.
