S. Croce 274.2 Compagnia di Santa Maria delle Laudi:

Notes

  • [a] Jacopo da Bisticci died on August 14th, 1468 after writing his will on July 3rd of that year that stipulated a tomb be installed in the church of Santa Croce. The sculpted slab has been attributed on stylistic grounds to Domenico Rosselli during the years he was working with the sculptor Antonio Rossellino and dated prior to his departure from Florence in 1472/73.
  • [b] The tomb was conceded to the Laudesi confraternity, which added an inscription dated 1539, and a new border surrounding the entire monument.
  • [c] Gravediggers record monna Mattea's burial in Santa Croce, but it is not clear whether the family yet owned the grave that would come to cover her son's tomb.
  • [d] His uncles Lionardo and Vespasiano were the executors of his father's will, but the inscription notes that magister Jacopo's son installed the tomb.
  • [e] Jacopo di Lionardo da Bisticci was the only heir of his uncle Vespasiano, who was buried in the family tomb on July 27th, 1498. It is not presently known where Jacopo was buried nor when he died, but it was certainly after 1511 when he is known to have sold some family property. See Cagni, p. 45.
