Note 359 — Chapter VIII · BATTISTA VERNAZZA’S LIFE
Reading edition
Date of death: Ritratti ed Elogii di Liguri Illustri, Genova, Ponthenier (Elogio della Ven. Battista Vernazza). Communion: Opere della Ven. B. Vernazza, ed. cit., Vol. I, p. 21. The portrait-frontispiece of the second volume of this work is a faithful facsimile of the portrait (a lithograph by F. Scotto) published among the Ritratti, between 1823 and 1830. The original picture, which will have hung in the convent of S. Marie delle Grazie, I have not been able to trace. The portrait now in possession of the Nuns of the convent of S. Maria in Passione, the successors of those Canonesses, is a quite conventional, inauthentic likeness.
