Biography

Tomb of Benozzo Federighi, 19th century plaster copy in the Victoria and Albert Museum

On 17 November 1421, Benozzo Federighi was appointed during the papacy of Pope Martin V as Bishop of Fiesole.[1][2][3] He served as Bishop of Fiesole until his death in 1450.[1][2][3]

While bishop, he was a principal co-consecrator of Antonio Forcilioni, Archbishop of Florence (1446).[3]
His elegant tomb monument, once in San Francesco di Paolo in Oltrarno, was moved to the church of Santa Trinita in 1895.

A copy of the Federighi grave is held in the Cast Court of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
