Pandulphus Alberti filius Philippi nepos e nobilissima Bardorum Familia ortus, quae Vernii dominatur, ac Francisci Medici Magni Etruriae Ducis magnus cubicularius cum in aede omnium sanctorum locus deesset, in quo pie sancteque eucharistia servaretur, ac Fratres Sacerdotes laudes Deo Optimo Maximo canerent. Testudinem hanc a fundamentis pietatis curavit aedificari Custos Privati Sigilli anno MDLXXIIII.

Translation

Pandolfo, son of Alberto, grandson of Filippo, having been raised out of the most noble family of the Bardi, who rules in Vernio, and great chamberlain of Francesco Medici Grand Duke of Tuscany, since the place in the Church of All Saints was wanting, in which the Eucharist was piously and sacredly kept, and the brother priests were singing praises to the greatest and best God. The Keeper of the Privy Seal arranged this vault to be built from the foundation of piety in the year 1574.
