Translation

plaque: This ancient coat of arms of the Tedaldi family and formerly visible on the tomb of Maffeo, Florentine knight, in 1295, with it having been thoroughly worn away, lest the memory of so great a man of excellent merit from the republic be lost, master Evangelista Tedaldi, prior of Santissima Annunziata, took care that it be restored here in the year 1663.
escutcheon frame: The tomb of the sons of Maffeo Tedaldi.
