On the medal of Simone as Canon of Treviso he seems
to me to be younger than on the other two, but very slightly.
He became Canon of Verona in 1498 and held the position
until his death in 1535. He was nominated Canon of
Treviso by Julius II on 17 Dec.1510, and is mentioned in the
records of the chapter there from that date until 1516. The
Treviso medal was therefore presumably made between
1510 and 1516.
