The date of his death is also not certain, but presumable around 1432, as his will was known in the city from the following year. Having had no children, his possessions passed to his most direct grandson.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2316\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2316\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2316\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?resize=300%2C209&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?resize=300%2C209&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?resize=210%2C146&amp;ssl=1 210w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?resize=50%2C35&amp;ssl=1 50w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?resize=108%2C75&amp;ssl=1 108w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/summofonte.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/grotta-della-sibilla.jpg?w=312&amp;ssl=1 312w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2316\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Disegno di Antoine de La Sale dal Paradis de la Reine Sybille 1420 via <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grotta_della_Sibilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikimedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The town of Barberino has recently activated a twinning relationship with the town of Montemonaco in the Marche, thanks to the description of the <a href=\"https:\/\/it.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Grotta_della_Sibilla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grotta della Sibilla<\/a> that Andrea makes in Guerrin Meschino.
