11th & 12th century deeds gifting stuff to the Abbey of San Godenza. Below is an excerpt from Gamurrini (translated v. literally) to put it into context together with copies of deeds of 1079 and
1125. They are more easily seen online at
http://www.archiviodistato.firenze.it
The 1125 one seems to agree with what Gamurrini says.
Gamurrini also says that there was a 1067 gift but that seems to be from someone called Bonato. The only obvious bit that agrees with Gamurrini’s story is that the notary is called Guido and the bits of property match. Maybe there’s something here one doesn’t yet understand and the detail makes it clear there is a Giovanni involved in the gift?
The 1067 deed - Gamurrini makes much of it and says it’s a Zani one.
The 1079 one does seem to be a Zani one i.e. (Giovanni, called Pagano, son of the late Giovanni), but Gamurrini doesn’t mention this one.

Gamurrini - writing about all this - rough translation
Of this one - his son is another Gianni, who was inclined to magnificence and to piety towards holy ;
worship; and intended to enrich the Abbey mentioned above. To this end, he purchased land, houses and churches increasing its wealth and its lands; not wishing that it should be divided, as in proof of the truth we find deeds of the writings of the Archivio of SS Nonziata di Fiorenza. There is annexed through authority of the Pontificate the said Abbey and we see all the writings of the Abbey enabled by the advantage of this house;
but by a simple advance we know that Gianni -
son of the B.M. di Fusco,
bought the church of St.Lawrence in Fornace with its Court, Poio
and castle etc. to give it all to the Abbey in 1067.
As the deed of Guido confirms, the instrument is in that Archivio of S. Nonziata
Gianni begot Ghierardo,
who with a declarator, which said, I make a gift , for the cure of my soul
and that of my son Ioannis
of the last of his state a donation to the said Abbey of S Gaudenza of all that he possesses in Plano Novo, the which donation we see,
that Gianni his son
immediately agrees to; and that donation is made into a deed by Ildebrand in 1125.
It is confimed in the above mentioned Archivio. All attest the greatness, which longs for ...............
Not for arguments of grandiosity, and piety of a family in such remote times.
This last Gianni begot Ghiraldo, who was father of another Gianni, as we see in a deed of S Felice in the Archivio of the Canons of the Metroplitana of Florence of 1213.
And this Gianni
came to be described among the Magistrates as of the first rank of Florentine nobility:
as in the deed of Rainero of 1213 which is conserved among the inheritance of Sig Guglielmo of Guglielmo Akoniti, and he was father to another Ghiraldo, who was Consul in Florence, as is dicovered from several deeds, and in particular from that of Buono Prati: nor of less esteem were his sons, one of which Caraduccio called Duccio was made Consul
