Notes

  • [a] Francesco di Bartolino seems to have had his name placed in the 1351 election purse with neither surname nor occupation, as verified in the Priorista Mariani list of Nobili family priors. He is likely the Francesco di Bartolino lanaiuolus named in the 1363 purse from which he was drawn only after his death in 1373
  • [b] The Carte Pucci report Francesco's death in 1367 with the day and month added in different ink. It is not clear whether he was using the old style Florentine calendar or the modern calendar.
  • [c] Francesco Bartolini was elected on August 28th, 1354 to represent the Vipera district.
  • [d] Given that Francesco di Bartolino commissioned the water font above the Benvenuti-Nobili tomb, it is likely that he was buried in the tomb below that carried his first cousin's name. Moreover, Francesco di Bartolino's grandsons were heirs to the tomb in the early fifteenth century.
  • [e] The 1596 sepoltuario describes the inscription at the base of the water font as ruined, able to make out only the honoree's patronyms and surname, but a second inscription above on the basin named "the below written Francesco." In 1615, only a coat of arms is mentioned by Francesco della Foresta, and in 1652 Stefano Rosselli descrbied the font as broken.
  • [f] Francesco di Bartolino served this district in the Tre Maggiori, and his family had monuments in this parish church.
