For the main facade of the campanile of Santa Maria del Fiore [Donatello] wrought in marble ... [a statue that is] now called il Zuccone. [It is] considered a very rare work and the most beautiful that [Donatello] ever made, such that whenever he wished to take an oath, to make others believe him he would say: "By the faith that I have in my Zuccone." And while he was carving [the statue], he would gaze at it and exclaim: "Speak, speak, or may the bloody dysentery take you.'" (English)
