From 1672, it was the Zanobi Baldinotti's family chapel dedicated to St. Zanobi, Archbishop of Florence. Then the sacresty entrance was moved to the door under the Acciaioli Funerary monument in the right transept. In 1770 it became Card. Luigi Torrigiani's family chapel, dedicated to St. Philip Neri, who was rector of the church for many years.
