Notes

  • [a] Given the form of the door and style of the arms, they were likely placed in conjunction with the church's foundation by Cav. Bindo di Lapo Benini in 1373.
  • [b] Bindo di Lapo Benini stated that he built the church of the Gerosolimitani and further endowed it in his testament of 14 February 1374. He died in 1376.
  • [c] The Benini arms not only honored the church's founder Bindo di Lapo Benini but also his brother fra Bartolomeo who was prior of the Gerosolimitani Order at Pisa. Their descendant fra Giuliano di Noferi was also prior at Pisa and Lieutenant General of the Order around 1450.
