S. Lorenzo [Cod. VII. IX.]. S.L. 1381 (probable
date of death). Neri was one of the P.’s deputed
by the Phy. A. at the request of the Board of Works
of Sta. Reparata, on July 13, 1366, to advise on the
construction of the church. A committee of A.’s
and P.’s, which included Neri, was formed on the
20th to make a model of Sta. Reparata “ qualiter
debeat redificare.” For the trouble and expense
incurred the members of the Committee were
awarded, on Aug. 28, a sum of 32 flor. of gold.
Neri’s name again appears as an adviser to the
Operaj of Sta. Reparata on Nov. 18, 1375 [Guasti,
“ Sta. Maria del Fiore,” 167,178, 230]. On Dec. 31,
1377, the officers of the Otto di Balia paid Neri
12 flor. for painting a shield “ alia catalana ” with
the arms of the Communes of Bologna and of
Florence, which was affixed in the hall of the Palazzo
Vecchio, and a large pennon, bearing the arms of the
Commune of Florence, done in silver and with a
broad band of golden lilies “ quod decitur pei’
feditori ” (a chosen body of cavalry which led the
van of the army) [Guasti, “ Belle Arti,” 61].

S.L. 1525 (Reg. A. 1535). Giovanni was the son of
Baccio da Montelupo, S. and A., and the brother
of Raffaello, S. Their family name was Sinibaldi
[Vasari, San. IV. 549].
107. Monte Varchi, Ruberto da, detto il
Montevarchi. b. 14—, d. 15 —. P. p. of il
Perugino, with whom he was at Perugia, certainly
in 1562-4, if not earlier, when his master sent him,
on several occasions, to take wheat and cash from
the Prior of the Hospital of S. Girolamo [Giornale
d’ Erud. Art., III. 14, 15, 25?]. Ruberto
derived his surname from his birth-place, where, as
well as in the neighbouring town of S. Giovanni in
Val d’ Amo, he, according to Vasari [San. III.
591], executed many works, of which no traces
appear to remain.

d. April 8, 1597. P. port. mat. c. 1567. A.D.
April 18,1574 [A.D., R. 25, c. 32*]. Councillor 1580

in, 144*]; Festaiuolo for S.L., 1594 [id. id. 79*];
was drawn for Consul in several years between
1583 and 1595, but only appears to have served
in 1583 (April), 1586 (Dec.), and 1591 (Dec.). In
1594 he was absent from Florence [id. 95, 27, c. 50*,
96]. p. of Giorgio Vasari; m. of Curzio Garliani
degli Innocenti. Francesco was intended by his
father for his own profession of a notary, but showed,
when a lad, so strong an inclination towards art that
Piero Vasari, who had seen some of his copies of
engravings, invited him to Florence and placed
the lad under his brother Giorgio’s tuition. Francesco
was soon, however, obliged to accompany his
father to Pietra Santa, and subsequently returned to
the Casentino. A country neighbour, Felice della
Campagna, apparently with a house in Florence,
now came to Francesco’s aid, and brought him to
the city a second time, where he returned to Vasari’s
bottega. Having quarrelled with Felice, Francesco
despaired of being able to remain in Florence,
until Don Vincenzo Borghini, prior of the Hospital
“ degli Innocenti,” and well known for his literary
attainments, took him, at Vasari’s request, under
his protection. He was thus enabled to continue
his art studies, and remained with and worked for
Vasari for several years. Finally Francesco set
up as a P. on his own account. He painted many
pictures, both panels and canvases, for churches in
Florence, and in various parts of Tuscany, as at
Poppi, Camaldoli, La Vema, Prato, Pistoja, S.
Miniato al Tedesco, Colle di Val d’ Elsa, Castiglione
Fiorentino and elsewhere. For the Baptism of
Don Filippo de’ Medici “ di felice memoria ” (died
young in 1582) he painted two canvases. The
Grand-Duke Francesco possessed three paintings
by Francesco : the “ Age of Gold,” said to have
been in the Uffizi in 1807; the “ Art of Founding
Cannon,” on Genoese slate, signed fran . poppi,
and an oval, “ Alexander bestowing Campaspe on
Apelles,” signed, both in the Collection at S. Salvi.
In the same Prince’s scrittojo he painted in
fresco some mythological subjects, representing the
Elements and Prometheus with Nature. Fran-
cesco’s works for private patrons are numerous :
