Notes

  • [a] Given the form of the door and style of the arms, they were likely placed in conjunction with the church's foundation by Cav. Bindo di Lapo Benini in 1373.
  • [b] As patron and founder of the church, Bindo di Lapo Benini placed the Squarcialupi arms in honor of his wife's birth family. Lionarda Squarcialupi may have been involved in the commission as well.
  • [c] Lionarda may have been involved in her husband's foundation and endowment of the Oratorio della Calza. Her family arms were placed opposite those of the Benini on the church door frame.
  • [d] Bindo di Lapo Benini stated that he built the church of the Gerosolimitani and further endowed it in his testament of 14 February 1374. He died in 1376. He ordered that the Squarcialupi arms be placed opposite his in honor of his wife, Lionarda Squarcialupi.
