surmised
presumed role based on incomplete evidence; for burials, we know the burial is in this church, we think it is in this tomb; for patronage and other relationships, there is evidence to suggest the connection, but it has not been confirmed
[a] It remains unclear whether Piero was part of the Zinzelli da Signa clain, but he may be a descendant of Michele di Vanni detta Tonnina Zinzelli da Signa. We thank Vieri Mazzoni for the reference to Michele Zinzelli found in ASFi, Notarile Antecosimiano, 21338, inserto 4, fol. 177v.
[b] Piero di Niccolo listed in the sepoltuario as "Piero di Niccolò di Michele" and may have been the grandson of Michele di Vanni, detto Tonnina, Zinzelli. Or, he was unrelated and purchased rights to the tomb at some point after the fourteenth century.
