[a] Sandro was Capitano della Parte Guelfa in 1385.
[b] According to Farulli (1710, pp. 12-13), "Sandro di Simone da Quarata, oggi detti Quaratesi" was among the "principali Cittadini" responsible for building, endowing, and enriching the Angeli's chapels with precious and sacred furnishings ("arricchendole di preziose, e sacre suppellettili"). This is likely the Sandro da Quarata recorded in the monastery's Registro Nuovo, and transcribed by Bent (1993, p. 724, doc. 100), as endowing a perpetual mass for his soul on the day after the feast of Saint Nicholas (6 December). Bent does not otherwise refer to Sandro or the Quaratesi family. Like Zanobi del Frasca, whose name appears on the Lorenzo Monaco's high altarpiece of 1414, Sandro Quaratesi is oddly otherwise absent from the Angeli's archives. If Farulli is correct that he was the chapel's builder, then he would have received patronage rights in the early 1370s.
