da Ghiacceto, Filippo di Giovanni di Mugnaio di Recco di Torre

Description

The sources are confusing regarding the identity of one Filippo da Ghiacceto who had co-inherited his family's Santa Croce cemetery tomb by 1439 together with Paolo di Zanobi di Paolo da Ghiacceto. Stefano Rosselli adds the patronym Mugnaio to Filippo's name. Mugnaio di Recco was the great-grandfather of Paolo di Zanobi, and it is highly unlikely that any of his sons were still alive in the early fifteenth century. Mugnaio had a grandson, Filippo di Giovanni di Mugnaio (b. ca 1367), very likely the Filippo named in the 1439 Santa Croce sepoltuario alongside his first cousin once removed Paolo di Zanobi. The Carte Mariani Dei introduces additional confusion by indicating that Filippo was the son of Giovanni di Giovanni di Mugnaio rather than Giovanni di Mugnaio, but based on Tratte records that show a Filippo di Giovanni di Mugnaio, the tree seems to be in error.

Notes

  • [a] Filippo di Giovanni da Ghiacceto listed his age as 60 in his 1427 catasto declaration. He may be the Filippo di Giovanni da Ghiacceto who claimed his age as 45 to the Tratte officials in 1429. While it seems odd that Filippo would have claimed himself to be fifteen-years younger/older than reality seems unlikely, Herlihy has found that among men who gave their age rather than date of birth, that the favorite was 45.
  • [b] Filippo served twice as Gonfaloniere di Compagnia for the Leon Nero district, which, like San Remigio, contained the parish of San Jacopo.
  • [c] Filippo claimed his residence in the parish of San Jacopo tra le Fosse as on a corner and neighboring properties that belonged to the church. Other da Ghiacceto kin lived in the neighboring parish of San Remigio, which could be one of the reasons so many of them chose burial in nearby Santa Croce rather than divided between two parish churches.
