Note 64 — PALAZZO DEL PODESTÀ (Bargello) Via Ghibellina.

Through the kindness of Sir Dominic Colnaghi I am informed that, “no painter of this name is known to have worked in Florence in the fourteenth century. Vasari evidently mixed up two painters in one notice, i. e. Giotto di Maestro Stefano, known as Giottino, and Maso di Banco. Antonio Billi (libro di Antonio Billi, ed. Frey. p. 14) states that among his other works Maso di Banco painted the Duke of Athens and his followers, on the façade of the Palazzo del Podestà.”
