Notes

[a] In a revision of his first testament drawn up in 1370, Michele di Vanni Castellani left 1,000 gold florins to the friary to construct and endow a chapel where would be buried with his son Rinieri. The sources refer to the chapel as belonging to the heirs of Michele di Vanni Castellani.
[b] Agnolo Gaddi recorded the completion of the chapel's fresco decoration in 1394.
[c] In 1815 the Castellani chapel altar decoration was significantly changed with the installation of a marble and semiprecious-stone altar, a seventeenth-century ciborium now in the museum, and the Giorgio Vasari's 1564 Last Supper originally made for the Franciscan convent of Le Murate.
