Villani, Cronica , VIII ch. 8, says:⁠—

“Giano della Bella was condemned and banished for contumacy,⁠ ⁠… and all his possessions confiscated,⁠ ⁠… whence great mischief accrued to our city, and chiefly to the people, for he was the most loyal and upright

popolano

and lover of the public good of any man in Florence.”
