del Bianco

According to the Ceramelli Papiani archive, the family started to use the surname del Bianco only after 1497, which is hypothesized to stem from the family's first prior (1412 o.s.), Bianco di Salvestro di mag. Benvenuto. He was the namesake of his great-grandfather, the doctor maestro Bianco di maestro Nuto.

Notes

  • [a] The chapel held its first mass on June 25th, 1354 and was documented in the 1580 sepoltuario, but it was no longer visible when Stefano Rosselli compiled his sepoltuario in the 1650s.
  • [b] Stefano Rosselli describes a coat of arms formerly in a chapel near the sacristy with a band carrying a small cross between two fleur-de-lis and an Angevin label in its chief. These can be identified as belonging to the doctor Benvenuto medico who endowed the chapel of San Benedetto through his 1348 testament.
