[a] For more on the altarpiece commissioned by the Aretine surgeon Bartolomeo Spadacci from Santi di Tito and completed by his son Tiberio, see Julian Brooks, “Santi di Tito’s Studio: The Contents of His House and Workshop in 1603.” The Burlington Magazine 144, no. 1190 (2002): 284-285.
[b] According to a Libro dei Ricordi kept by the nuns of S. Giovannino de' Cavalieri, the chapel of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist was restored and endowed by Maestro Bartolomeo Spadacci, called "our surgeon," as remembered on 13 January 1603 (o.s.). He was required to rebuild the altar (erigere l'altare di nuovo). See Brooks, "Santi di Tito's Studio," 284.
[c] Santi di Tito, who died on July 25th, 1603 had begun designs for the altarpiece commissioned by Bartolomeo Spadacci. His son Tiberio completed the painting, and it seems to have been installed by mid January 1604.
[d] Though the original altar and tomb have disappeared, the Spadacci coat of arms and their chapel's altarpiece remain in the church.
