Notes

  • [a] Della Foresta guessed that one pair of arms, showing two birds on either side of a chalice, belonged to the Borgianni family. Given that they lived in the Santa Croce quarter and that the colors as described by Della Foresta do not match, the honorees of this altar remain unidentified.
  • [b] Described by della Foresta in 1610 as the first altar on the right upon entering the church, it was no longer visible to Stefano Rosselli. He surmised, and he is surely correct, that the altar was taken down to make way for the Bogi family altar.
  • [c] The altar carried two coats of arms. One shield had a blue ground and two sliver doves with red feed perched on a gold chalice, similar to, but different in tinctures from the Borgianni family. The other showed a chief of blue with a red rake and gold lilies, usually called the label of Anjou, over a horizontally split field of two colors crossed by overlapping red flowers with long stems, leaves, and roots in an X-pattern.
