Mendicant choir relocations in the local context
1In his 1574 funeral oration for Cosimo I de’ Medici, Pietro Vettori identified the renovation of Florence’s churches as one of the duke’s major accomplishments, exclaiming:
Moreover, are you aware how much beauty and how much splendor he conveyed to the temples and the churches, those things [screens] – that stood in the way and that blocked the light, so that the interiors could not be seen all at once – having been removed from the center parts. After all, through this intervention, the inherent form as well as the greatness has been returned to the holy places1.
2But how much of Vettori’s statement was mere pomp and circumstance? Should Duke Cosimo and his court architect Vasari be given full credit for this major overhaul of Florence’s churches? Was religious reform, in the Tridentine context, the main impulse behind the alterations? Certainly, Florence holds a unique place amongst the major church renovation schemes of post-Tridentine Italy. In the 1560s and 1570s, projects to remove nave screens and choirs together with further changes to liturgical furnishings and wall paintings transformed numerous churches in the city.

Italian sculptor, part of a family of sculptors, nephew of Battista Lorenzi. He was first apprenticed as a carver in his father's workshop and then trained as a painter with Michele Tosini in Florence. By 1550, however, he was apprenticed to the sculptor Niccolò Tribolo. Stoldo's first patron was Luca Martini (d. 1561), a poet and writer, who was the administrator of Pisa under Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Martini housed Stoldo in Pisa c. 1555-62, during which time the sculptor also received commissions from Santa Maria della Spina for an Annunciation group and from Cosimo I for a marble stemma flanked by personifications of Religion and Justice for the palazzo of the Cavalieri di Santo Stefano. His most notable work for Martini is a marble relief of Cosimo I Receiving Tribute from the Towns of Tuscany (c. 1555; Holkham Hall, Norfolk). Once thought to be by Michelangelo, the relief was commissioned as a pendant to Pierino da Vinci's Pisa restaurata (Museo Pio-Clementino, Vatican), which Stoldo completed after Pierino's death.
In 1565, he worked on the decorations for the wedding of Francesco I de' Medici and Joanna of Austria, which gained him a series of important commissions in Florence, including the statue of Abraham (1565) for the chapel of San
