156 GIOVANNI BUONCONSIGLIO
“ marescalco ” (farrier) frequently given to him ;1
his mother was of the Cararo family.2 Whilst still
a rather young man Giovanni went to Venice and
married there Giovanna, the daughter of ser Andrea
from Severe and his wife Franceschina. Indeed, the
earliest known document in which Buonconsiglio’s
name occurs, dated January 22,1495 {more veneto 1494)
shows him as residing in that town ; the document
in question is the will, which his wife—as the custom
was—had drawn up when expecting her first delivery.3
The same year, on August 26, Giovanna laid claim
to the inheritance from her mother ;4 Buonconsiglio
became, in consequence thereof, the owner of some
houses in the parish of SS. Apostoli. Our painter
made his home in Venice for the rest of his life.5 He

2 Cf. the will, dated June 20, 1535, of Samaritana, the widow of
“ miser Zuane Piero Carara da Vinzenza,” whereby she makes a
bequest “ ale fie de maistro Zuanne depentor, che fo fiol de una sorella
del quondam miser Zuan Piero fo mio marido.” Cf. infra, p. 194 ; and
see also the documents of May 15, 1513, and October 31, 1515, reported
infra.
3 The document (Venice, Archivio di State, Sez. Not. Atti Gio:
Francesco Dal Pozzo, Test1. Ba. 764, No. 115) is published by Ludwig,
loc. cit. p. 90. One of the witnesses signs himself : “ Io Marcho da
Parma depentor condam Miser Zufre.” Ludwig presumes (Zor. cit.
p. 88) basing on analogous cases, that he was the garzone of Buon-
consiglio ; he belonged to a family of probably rather humble painters,
bearing the surname Trollo, about whom cf. Ludwig, loc. cit. p. 26.
4 A partial copy of the document (Venice, Archivio di State, Quattro
Ministeriali Stride e chiamori. Reg°. 74, ce. 141 t°.) is given by Ludwig,
loc. cit. p. 90.

of Vicenza and uncle of Buonconsiglio, has his will drafted in the house
of the latter, who is constituted the executor of Cararo. Venice,
