Who won the commission from the Operai ?
There is , of course , some weakness to attributing the commissioning and re-commissioning of the monument to Albizzi or Medici intrigues , as only two ( maybe three ) of the eight " operai " on July 13 , 1433 were members of the Albizzi faction and only one was a Medici when it was resumed on May 18 , 1436 ; yet the influences of both factions doubtlessly did not require blood relation .
