Notes

  • [a] Given that the inscription on this tomb—installed in 1642 by a convert from Constantinople, renamed Francesco Medici at his baptism in Florence at an unknown prior date—uses the title Serenissimus Princeps and not Magnus Dux, the sponsor was most likely Prince Francesco de' Medici (1614–1634), rather than his great-uncle, Grand Duke Francesco (d. 1587), or his brother, Grand Duke Ferdinando II (r. 1621–70).
