Notes

  • [a] Vincenzo Viviani entrusted Giovanni Battista Nelli to carry out his wishes to install a tomb for himself and his mentor Galileo Galilei in the church of Santa Croce. Nelli died before accomplishing this request, and Viviani's estate passed to his son Giovanni Battista Clemente once he installed the tomb, which he did in 1737.
  • [b] According to the Priorista Mariani, Giovan Batista Nelli was Provveditore of the Parte Guelfa in the early eighteenth century
