Gonfaloniere di Comapgnia (Advisory Councilor, Sixteen)
one of two advisory councils (Collegi): the Gonfalonieri di Compagnia discussed legislation in consultation with Signoria
19 Gonfalonieri di Compagnia (the standard bearers of the urban militia--four from the Sestiere of Oltrarno and three from each of the remaining Sestieri--from ca. 1304-06)
after 1343 number of Gonfalonieri di Compagnia was reduced from 19 to 16, one from each of the four Gonfaloni in each of the four quarters
individual has matriculated, joined, or been named to this group, including one who has joined a monastery, friary, or convent as a member or third order
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.

[e] Jacopo was elected as guild consul on April 17th, 1497. The online Tratte interpret his name-slip to have included his surname.
[f] Jacopo, without a surname, was elected to the Sixteen for the Leon Nero gonfalone on December 31st, 1503.
[g] According to Franco Cardini, he declared his 1480 catasto from this gonfalone, and he was elected prior from there twice between 1495 and 1505. The Priorista Mariani puts the family in the parish of San Jacopo tra Fosse. However, Jacopo was buried in the Oltrarno church of Santa Chiara, raising questions about his residence at his death.
