Notes

  • [a] The sources note the year 1331 at the entry for Benincasa di Manetto's cemetery tomb, but it does not appear in the inscription on the surviving fragment.
  • [b] The tomb marker is catalogued in the online Catalogo Generale di Beni Culturali without any indication that it came from Santa Croce, only noting that it is now private property.
  • [c] The sources do not make clear whether Ristoro di Naldo inherited or purchased rights to the tomb honoring Benincasa di Manetto. Benincasa's son Nastagio (d. ca. 1411) had his own tomb at the foot of a chapel he may have endowed in the parish church of Sant'Apollinare that he left to the Compagnia del Bigallo, suggesting he was last in the della Camera family line. It is thus quite likely that the apothecary Ristoro di Naldo was not a relative but had purchased rights to Benincasa's cemetery tomb, which for reasons unknown his son Nastagio had decided not to use.
