	"In this loggia he turned the arches over the closely spaced columns in the facade and also over the corbels, in order to have a series of arches on the outside and to follow the same pattern internally." I-211 Rucellai loggia
	"For the Rucellai family Alberti also made a chapel in San Pancrazio which rests on great architraves supported by two columns and two pilasters piercing the wall of the church below...In the middle of the chapel is a marble tomb of an elongated oval shape and resembling , as is written on it, the sepulchre of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem." I-211 Rucellai Chapel, San Pancrazio
	"About this time Ludovico Gonzaga, marquis of Mantua, determined that he would have the tribune of the principal chapel of the Servite church of the Annunziata in Florence built after Alberti's plans and model...This [was] a very ingenious and difficult structure, taking the form of a circular temple with a ring of nine chapels which opened off like niches" Church of SS. Annunziata, Florence
	"Ludovico then brought Alberti to Mantua itself, where he made for him a model for the church of Sant'Andrea and several other things." I-212 Sant'Andrea, Mantua
