priore (prior)
Together with the <i>gonfaloniere di giustizia</i> the priors constituted the Signoria, Florence's principal executive magistracy. Legislation was initiated by the Signoria in consultation with the two advisory colleges (<i>collegi</i>). Their number changed over time but was established at eight after 1343, with two representatives per quarter. 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.

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] In 1429, Antonio di Nofri di Romolo registered hs birth date as January 29th, 1391 with Tratte officials, even though his brother had given his age as 34 in his 1427 catasto declaration, which would render a birth year of 1393 rather than 1391.
[b] An Antonio di Nofri di Romolo rigattiere was elected guild consul on August 18th, 1439 from a 1434 purse. While it seems an odd occupation change, it is almost certain that the stonemason and used clothes dealer were one in the same person.
[d] Antonio was declared in his brother's household in the 1427 catasto, living in a house in the canto a Rossello, which corresponds to today's via Guelfa and via dei Ginori. A neighbor declared their parish as Santa Riperata, suggesting the same for the Romoli family.
