[a] In 1743, Gaetano d'Amerigo Antinori installed a fourteenth-century marker belonging to his family in the portico of San Jacopo sopr'Arno. It is not clear whether the ancestral tomb was originally in the cloister or residential buildings of San Jacopo, as Giuseppe Richa surmised, or in another church altogether. It is tempting to see it as the marker from the family tomb once in the crypt of Santa Croce that was transferred to the Bellacci family around 1441. However, the 1439 sepoltuario indicates that it belonged to Vanni and Lapo Antinori, though it may not have been finished with a marker.
[b] We postulate that when the Antinori Santa Croce crypt tomb was transferred to the Bellacci family around 1441, that its marker was removed and given to the family. Whether that is the same marker now installed at San Jacopo sopr'Arno is speculation.
