1859	OSSA IO: MICHAELIS COM. DE. PIERVCCIIS	The bones of Giovanni di Michele Count of the Pierucci

Pierucci, Giovanni Michele (conte cavaliere) di Conte Luzio		February 21st, 1759
Pierucci, Giovanni Michele (conte cavaliere) di Conte Luzio		1760

[a] Spedalingo Giovanni di Michele Pierucci, who had commissioned a monument in honor of his brother-in-law Francesco Rucellai, was laid to rest between the two altars on the right side of the church under a marble plaque that reads,“the bones of Giovanni Michele, Count of the Pierucci.” Its corresponding wall monument, installed by his brothers, carried a long, laudatory Latin inscription and the date 1760, giving him additional recognition among the small number of monuments in Santa Maria degli Innocenti, once as a Rucellai in-law and tomb patron, again as a Pierucci son and brother.
[b] IX Kal. Mart. is the equivalent of February 21, and it should be in modern style given decree to make 1 January start of new year in 1750
