Notes

1. On 8 September 1627, the Confraternity of the Holy Sacrament in Saludecio commissioned Cagnacci to decorate its chapel in the parish church of San Biagio. The painting was later moved out of the church and into the local museum. ^[1]
2. In August 1634, the Compania of the Carpenters and Blacksmiths of Santarcangelo di Romagna commissioned Cagnacci to paint an altarpiece with their two patron saints, Joseph and Eligius, for their chapel in Sante Croce. The painting was later moved to San Michele Arcangelo, the church where Cagnacci was baptised. ^[1]
3. Between 1619 and 1636, a new chapel was built to house the Madonna of the Fire , the most sacred image in Forlì. The chapel was attached to the left nave of the cathedral of Santa Croce. In 1642, Cagnacci was commissioned for two quadroni ('large paintings') to decorate the dome of the chapel, representing the patron saints of the city: Valerian and Mercurialis. In 1699, they were removed and placed somewhere else in the cathedral. In 1851, they were moved to the Pinacoteca Civica di Forlì. ^[1]
