This essay presents an arbitration award document (1351) regarding Giacomo di Guerrino di Tondo and Giacomo di Tondo di Guerrino, respectively brother and son of Tondino (or Tondo) di Guerrino, a famous goldsmith active in Siena. The award attests that uncle and nephew operated in the same workshop. An analysis of the subscription on the reliquary of St. Lucy in Toledo, signed by Andrea di Petruccio and Giacomo di Tondino, realized in the workshop ‘dei Tondi’ during the shared administration of uncle and nephew, is also proposed. The enamel decorations are, moreover, akin to those in the chalice of San Secondo in Ávila, signed just by Andrea. The paper suggests to identify Giacomo di Tondo (or Tondino) with the homonym goldsmith who signed the reliquary in Rome, the chalice in London, who’s the artist of the Crucifix in Siena. Finally, six still unpublished plaquettes are added to the corpus of Tondino di Guerrino, Giacomo’s father. In the appendix, all the known documents regarding the family ‘dei Tondi’ are published

Abstract

This essay presents an arbitration award document (1351) regarding Giacomo di Guerrino di Tondo and Giacomo di Tondo di Guerrino, respectively brother and son of Tondino (or Tondo) di Guerrino, a famous goldsmith active in Siena. The award attests that uncle and nephew operated in the same workshop. An analysis of the subscription on the reliquary of St. Lucy in Toledo, signed by Andrea di Petruccio and Giacomo di Tondino, realized in the workshop ‘dei Tondi’ during the shared administration of uncle and nephew, is also proposed. The enamel decorations are, moreover, akin to those in the chalice of San Secondo in Ávila, signed just by Andrea. The paper suggests to identify Giacomo di Tondo (or Tondino) with the homonym goldsmith who signed the reliquary in Rome, the chalice in London, who’s the artist of the Crucifix in Siena. Finally, six still unpublished plaquettes are added to the corpus of Tondino di Guerrino, Giacomo’s father. In the appendix, all the known documents regarding the family ‘dei Tondi’ are published
