On 21 July 1328, due to the death of Bishop Francesco, Bishop Francesco Silvestri of Florence was appointed Administrator of the diocese of Fermo, though Pope John makes it clear in his letter of appointment that the diocese had been suppressed, to serve at the pleasure of the pope. He resigned in 1334. He died on 21 October 1341. The right to appoint to all vacant benefices in the Marches was specifically reserved to the pope. Catalani, pp. 203-207, 373-374. G.
