Early Origins of the Simon family

Mina Gregories and Neapolitans

Neapolitan scholars are too deep indebted to Mina Gregori. Her studies have provided further clarification and new light to the Neapolitan painting.

Una data per la Croce di San Marco a Firenze

IThe Cross of the Florentine church of San Marco is the biggest painted Florentine cross come down to us. The article gives notice of the discovery of the will of Domina Lapa de Saltarelli, dated May 22, 1339, in which she left a golden florin in to finance the work painting; a very similar chronology to that of the commemorative stone that in 1341 reminds Fia de’Caponsacchi as patron of the Major Chapel of the church. This chronological term starts the reconstruction of the events of the work within the church of San Marco, for
which it was commissioned by Silvestrini. Furthermore, we proceed with a critical and stylistic reevaluation of the Cross, currently in restoration at the Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence, focusing on the two main attributions of the work related to Stefano Fiorentino or Puccio di Simone. The findings emerging from the comparison with the style and the decorative details typical of the activity of Bernardo Daddi, bring to validate an idea already advanced by critics, i.e. that the commission of the monumental Cross has begun in the workshop of Giotto and, after his death, was brought to completion by his students in a mixture of styles among which is likely to find the presence of the
young Puccio di Simone.
