The officeholders, collectively known as <i>signori</i>, were assisted by a notary (<i>notaio della Signoria</i>). Serving in the priorate was the highest honor a family could achieve in Republican Florence.

circa 1393 (date is approximate) to circa 1434 (date is approximate)
For the purposes of taxation and scrutinies, Florentine men could remain in their ancestral gonfalone even if they lived elsewhere. Thus, the gonfalone identified in a catasto or tratte record does not necessarily indicate where the person lived.

Citizens of Florence could claim membership in a gonfalone other than where they lived for purposes of taxation and political sortition, usually that of their father or other ancestor and related to where the family traditionally held its highest-value properties. The 1427 catasto contains numerous examples of a declared residence (casa per abitazione) in a parish not physically located in the gonfalone from which the tax declaration was made. Residence is "surmised" when extrapolated from political service or tax records that do not indicate the parish of residence and "documented" when the physical location of a house is known.

[a] Though Tratte officials recorded Dino's age as 50 in 1429, rendering an approximate birth year of 1379, Dino himself gave his age as 64 to catasto officials in 1427.
