Note 179 — Chapter XXVIII
Reading edition
Pietro Sodarini, Gonfaloniere for life. The original in Latin is printed in Bottari's Lettere sulla Pittura, I., 1. A loose expression might lead to the conclusion that Giovanni Sanzi was still alive, though he died in 1494; and on the strength of it, Rosini raises doubts as to the authenticity of the letter, or the identity of the painter, in which we cannot join.
