Filippo was born anno 1450. When he had attained the twentieth year of his age he was created Canonico of Florence.

Besides these five sons, Poggio had a daughter, named Lucretia, who married into the family of the Buondelmonti. _Ton. Tr. tom. ii. p. 169._ [446] The fate of this statue was somewhat remarkable. In consequence of certain alterations made in the façade of the church of Santa Maria, in the year 1560, by Francesco, Grand duke of Tuscany, it was removed to another part of that edifice, where it now composes one of the group of the twelve apostles.—_Recanati Vita Poggii, p. xxxiv._ THE END.
