CRITICAL HISTORICAL NEWS
Beautiful tombstone, probably from the beginning of the century. XVI; in 1514, in fact, as the inscription placed on the external wall of this chapel recalls (see file n. 107), Sulpicia Augusta Scotti Strozzi had the chapel built and dedicated it to Saint Catherine, placing the family sepulcher there; the coat of arms depicted here reproduces the Strozzi coat of arms quartered with the Scotti one. The tombstone must originally have been placed in the floor, from which it was probably removed to protect it from wear
