This young man did not know much about the profession
but he was very handy with his weapon. Another I
had who was a Ferrarese, and by name Bartolommeo
Chioccia/ I had also another man; this man was a

And his brother, who was called by the nick-name of

our hero sent to Rome "a diamond of the weight of two and a
quarter carats . . . and gave him free commission to sell it for

publishes a Settlement of Account made on June 28th 1534 between
the goldsmiths M° Bartolommeo Perini of Ferrara, G. B. Bonini
of Rome, and Nicolao Santini, a Florentine, to which a certain Paolo
Novellini was a witness.

and belonged to a noble house.

to be found a letter addressed to Tommaso Guadagni at Lyons
dated May 1st 1541. VASARI also in his ZzA^/ATzzTzc^Jc^ AzAzz'gA
