Notes

  • [a] The Cangiani chapel was in the corner of the church opposite the Barbadori/Capponi chapel, the first along the south wall.
  • [b] The sepoltuari indicate that this altar carried four coats of arms on the altarpiece (nella tavola) with two representing the Canigiani family. The other two are formally similar, one with a blue ground, red label, and gold fleur-de-lis, which can be identified as the arms of Charles of Anjou. The second was described by both della Foresta and Rosselli as having blue lilies and a gold bend crossing the shield of unspecified tincture and a red label. Given its formal similarities to the arms of Charles' son Philip, who supported the Florentines at the ultimately failed Battle of Montecatini (29 August 1315), it is likely that the color notes were mis-transcribed in the seventeenth-century sepoltuari.
  • [c] It seems that the Canigani and Paganelli wanted to show their Guelf loyalties by including the arms of Charles and Philip of Anjou on their altar's decorations.
