A document once housed in the Fermo archives—now lost and known only through later transcriptions—told of a commission made in 1470 by Giorgio, an Albanian who fled to Italy after Skanderbeg’s death and the Ottoman advance. His lineage became the Salvadori family, guardians of the polyptych for generations. The piece was eventually sold to Martin Colnaghi to support coastal reclamation efforts and later broken apart. Today, its panels are scattered across different museums.
