[a] Note that the new church of San Romolo, built in 1349-50, was oriented to the north, with the main door on the south side facing the Piazza della Signoria. Thus the actual orientation of the chapel is east, though the liturgical orientation is to the south, as the chapel was on the righthand side upon entering through the main door.
[b] Richa reports a painting of St. Anthony of Padua in the center of an antique altarpiece.
[c] The Guidacci may have been the patrons of this altar from the inception of the rebuilt parish church.
[d] According to Giuseppe Richa (vol. 2, pp. 40–41), the Guidacci chapel was the first on the right when entering the main door off of the Piazza della Signoria. Thus, it was oriented to the east, but liturgically on the south side. The Cedernelli chapel instead was in the left aisle, true west but liturgically north.
