NOTES: Regarded as the cathedral church of Rimini, the Tempio Malatestiano was a recasing of the 13th Gothic church of San Francisco. Alberti was commissioned by his patron Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta to design a mausoleum for his wife Isotta degli Atti. Alberti produced a design around 1450, but the execution of the project was given to Matteo di Andrea de' Pasti, who produced the famous temple front. This was to have a higher central gable or pediment, but was not completed and remained so at his death in 1467.
