Notes

  • [a] An inventory of San Procolo in the mid-fifteenth century, surviving in two versions, lists five chapels as present in the church. In addition to the high altar, oriented to the east, there were additional chapels under the patronage of the Arrighi, Villani, Valori, and del Pannocchia families, likely two on each side wall. Given that it seems the Arrighi family altar remained in its original position on the south wall through all three iterations (before 1441, 1662, and 1739), the Valori family altar may have been the first on the left wall when facing the high altar, where the Niccolini altar stands today.
  • [b] A triptych by Ambrogio Lorenzetti dated 1332 once adorned the altar dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari.
  • [c] The del Panocchia family chapel likely remained in the same place from its installation to its restorations in 1622 and 1739, that is, on the southern wall of the church towards the west wall. After the radical reorientation of the church in 1622, this meant the altar was then to the left of the high altar, where it was seen by Stefano Rosselli and Giuseppe Richa.

After the radical reorientation of the church in 1622, this meant the altar was then to the left of the new high altar, where it was seen by Stefano Rosselli and Giuseppe Richa.
