Ser Petracco

[6] He belonged to the political party of the White Guelphs along with the famous poet Dante, being its most illustrious member.

Ser Petracco had to seek employment elsewhere, however his wife and baby Francesco were permitted to go to their little family house they owned in Incisa with relatives.

A family story goes that Francesco was about seven months old when he and his mother moved back to Incisa.

Ser Petracco periodically visited the family in Incisa from his out of town employment.

Around 1311 Ser Petracco got employment in Avignon whither the papal household had moved from Rome.

[9] After his first wife's death he married Niccolosa Sigoli whose father Vanni was member of the White Guelphs and was elected priore of Florence in 1301.
