While still a boy in age, Baccio frequented at times the workshop of Girolamo del Buda, a commonplace painter, on the Piazza di S. Pulinari.
After many messages Palla came to San Pulinari on horseback, accompanied by two of his people on foot, and unarmed. To these reproaches Palla made no reply audible to those around, but, muttering something as he left them, returned to his house.

Pope Eugenius was at this time at Florence, having been driven from Rome by the people.

Having come to this conclusion, Rinaldo's friends separated.
