Notes

  • [a] The chiusino is described as round and made of marble. There may also have been a rectangular slab, but Rosselli's description is not clear.
  • [b] Ser Francesco's mother was named Tessa is the likely honoree, and probable patron, of this tomb even though the transcription of its inscription (S. di Mona Tessa di S. Francesco di Laino del Cerna et de suoi) suggests instead that she was his daughter. It would be peculiar for an unmarried woman to commission a tomb for herself and any descendants would be indirect heirs. The widow mona Tessa, however, would have reason and means to commission a tomb for herself, her oldest son ser Francesco, and their collective descendants.
