In 1576-77, Bandini executed the reliefs on the tombs of Cardinal Niccolò Gaddi (1499-1552) and Cardinal Taddeo Gaddi (1520-1561), the descendants of the painter Taddeo Gaddi (1300-1366). They were buried in their family chapel in Santa Maria Novella.
The family chapel contains the tombs of Cardinal Niccolò Gaddi (left) and Cardinal Taddeo Gaddi (right), the altarpiece Raising of the Daughter of Jairus by Bronzino, and the vault fresco by Alessandro Allori depicting stories from the life of St Jerome.
