Notes

  • [a] In his annotations on Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron, Vincenzo Borghini notes that the tomb of the author's father was recorded in a sepoltuario kept by the friars at Santa Croce, but that the 1557 flood washed away its painted arms and inscription. He was able to describe both, thanks to study of the Santa Croce sepoltuario.
