Translation

Castello Quaratesi, Florentine citizen of noble birth and singular reverence, built this church for God the Savior and the convent for Blessed Francis out of his property in the year of our salvation 1450.

The same for faith in commerce and honesty in the Republic. The grateful heir, the Calimala Guild of Mercants of the city of Florence, set up the monument deservedly in the year of Salvation 1510.
