Notes

  • [a] In 1655, Stefano Rosselli noted that only the Barucci arms remained in the church over the arch of the vault that formerly covered the altar, which was presumably removed during the Sacchetti-sponsored renovations completed in 1636.
  • [b] The Barucci family arms were carved in stone over the arch that framed the altar.
  • [c] The del Corno family lived in the neighborhood, and their arms almost match those described by Francesco della Foresta in 1606 as decorating the altarpiece. Both are described as blue shields with a hunting horn suspended by a strap. The Ceramelli Papiani archive identifies the horn as silver with a red strap while della Foresta indicates they were both gold.
