"In the eulogy of Anton Domenico we find honourable mention made of his nephew, Gaetano Gabbiani; of Francesco Salvetti, his intimate friend; of Gio. Antonio Pucci, a painter and a poet; of Giuseppe Baldini, whose promising career was cut short by death; and of Ranieri del Pace, a native of Pisa, who afterwards yielding to the torrent of fashion, became a complete Mannerist."
