Notes

[a] The fresco painted between the stained glass window and arch of Benedetto da Maiano's tomb should be considered part of Filippo Strozzi's tomb given the subject matter of angels standing on and holding human skulls and bones on either side of a fictive niche filled with more skulls behind a fictive plaque reading: NI / HANC / DESPEXERIS / VIVES.
