note:  Vasari attributes commission to Cardinal Lorenzo Pucci for the chapel of Elena Duglioli dall'Olio, a devotée of the saint; Aretino also mentions the role of Antonio Pucci, Lorenzo's nephew, in the commission. Meyer zur Capellen (2005) and Henry/Joannides (2013), however, reiterate dall'Olio as the patron of the work but note that Pucci was most likely heavily involved in the planning. https://www.pinacotecabologna.beniculturali.it/en/content_page/item/2811-st-cecilia-with-saints-paul-john-the-evangelist-augustine-and-mary-magdalen-ecstasy-of-st-cecilia
