MINIATI
184
MONALDI
a Virgin and two Saints painted in a tabernacle
on the land that had been purchased of Buonin-
segna in the Via Gualdimare (now Pistojese), of
various badges of the Ceppo, painted on several
houses and of a coat-of-arms of Casa Datini. The
coat-of-arms and badges were paid for at the rate
of 20 soldi each. In 1423 Piero was allowed 55 flor.
in further reduction of his debt, to paint a fresco in
the Convent of S. Niccolo (now converted into the
R. Educatorio di S. Niccolo) with subjects from the
life of that Saint under the terms of Francesco
Datini’s will. The large fresco, however, which
covers one wall of the old refectory represents
S. Domenico and the miracle of the loaves, probably
ordered by Donna Margherita, Datini’s widow,
instead of the subject named by her husband. The
small kneeling figures of Donna Margherita and her
brother were probably painted by Piero’s brother,
Antonio [Guasti, “Madonna del Soccorso,” 50-52;
Guasti, “ Ser Lapo Mazzei,” II. 422-28].
From Piero’s sole return to the Catasto [A.S.F.,
Cat. S. Spirito Ferza; Filza, 1427, c. 64or] it appears
that his wife Gemma was sixteen years younger
than himself, and that they had no issue. With
his brother Antonio he was taxed in 1 flor. 3 s. 10 d.
(raised in 1430 to 5 flor.). He possessed a plot of
land at Cafaggi near Prato, which he let for 10 staiora
of wheat per annum. From 1411 to the beginning
of 142 x Piero rented a house belonging to the hospital
of the Ceppo. At the latter date he owed four years’
rent, amounting to 25 flor. In 1427 he was living
in the house of Don Antonio, canon and rector of
the church of S. Lionardo in the contado of Prato.
He probably died after 1430 and before 1446
[Guasti, “ Madonna del Soccorso,” 36].
97b. (ii) Antonio di Miniato di Piero di
Meglio. B. 1387, d. June 1466. Assistant of his
brother Piero, whose p. he probably was. As a
P. inferior to his brother. Antonio made six
returns to the Catasto [S. Spirito Ferza], 1427,1430,
1433, 1442, 1446? and 1457. He was four times
married. Of his first wife there is no record. His
second wife was Monna Tancia. In 1442 he had
already married his third wife, Monna Tancia. In
1466 he is found with his fourth wife, Celladina di
Ser Piero Migliorati, widow of Piero di Benuzzo,
dyer. Antonio belonged to the Porta Capitis
Pontis, where he was residing in 1433 in a half-
ruined house of his own. He possessed some land
outside Prato. His bottega,.for which he paid an
annual rent of 2 flor. to Messer Giovanni di Ser
Aurelio Migliorati, was on the Piazza della Pieve.
Not having been successful as a P., Antonio deter-
mined to abjure art, and opened a shop as a copper-
smith, a trade followed by Giovanni, his son by his
first wife, in which he appears to have made money,
cleared off his debts and purchased houses in Prato.
He also possessed a house in Florence left him by
his sister [Guasti, “ Madonna del Soccorso,” 35-38
and notes]. The descendants of Giovanni assumed
the surname of Del Calderajo. His daughter,
Chiara, married Giovanni Guentalodi; and their
son Domenico was the P. and E. [<?.».].

describes him as one of the best modellers of his day.
In the A.D. Registers there are various entries
referring to Mochi, but these may not all belong to
the same individual. There were living at this time
in Florence an Orazio di Francesco Ferranti or
Ferenti and an Orazio di Francesco Ruoti, both P’s.
On Sept. 22,1588, 0. di F. Mochi, P. and S., claimed
12 lire from a muratore, balance of an “ insegna ”
painted for him [A.D., R. 63, c. 9]. In 1594, for the
festival of S. Luke, 0. Mochi (? Ruoti) painted a
portrait of Andrea (del Sarto). For the same festival
Orazio Mochi, described as a young S., made a
“ figura di terra ” of Air [id. 27, c. 82]. In Nov. 1594
Orazio Mochi, the S., was elected an A.D.

entries referring to Bernardino. On Dec. 9, 1592,
he and Guido di Alessandro Bellini are named
together as P.’s at S. Marco Vecchio [63 c. 47].
In Jan. 1602/3 he claims and obtains payment
of 840 lire from Messer Mario Doni, evidently for
paintings executed for Messer Mario [89, c. 1].
On July 10, 1609, he and Bernardino Poccetti
pay in to the Academy 3 lire 10 s. on account of a
certain valuation they made [id. 103, c. 33] c. ?
1618. Stefano Pieri valued two portraits painted
by Bernardino, measuring 3J bracchia each, at 10
ducats the one and 14 ducats the other [id. 64, ad an.].
Of Bernardino’s paintings we have examples in
lunette No. 52, Chiostro Grande of Sta. Maria
Novella, S. Vincenzo Ferrerio restoring a child to
life, executed in 1607 [Fineschi, “ il Forestiero ist-
ruito,” etc. 73], and in the Church of the Carmine,
