Notes

[a] The tomb is described as in the middle of the church (nel mezzo di Chiesa), and the slab partially remains in situ. It was fitted with a new Quaratesi coat of arms and inscription in 1801.
[b] The impaled della Rena/Quaratesi arms and inscription installed by Orazio della Rena in honor of his wife Margherita Quaratesi were replaced to commemorate the 1801 burial of the widow of Niccolò Quaratesi, Anna del Conte Pietro Strozzi. The new inscription paraphrases the original and names Orazio and Margherita. Some of the colored marbles that decorate the current slab may be the originals described by Stefano Rosselli.
