KAUFFMANN
Translated from Zeitschrift fur Bildende Kunst.
Vol. 24, pp. 294-300
I, Maria Anna Angelica Kauffmann, of Schwarzenburg in Bregenz Forest,
diocese of Constance (born, as it happened, in Chur in Graubunden), widow
of the deceased Anton Zucchi, make this my will.
I desire to be buried in the Friars Church of St. Andrea in the same chapel
where the body of my husband lies, and I desire on the day of my burial or the
days following 100 Masses may be said for my soul, and I give for each, 30
kreutzer, the clergyman of my parish to read 20 Masses, and I give for each
of these, 2 silver thalers1 for each Mass, and I give to the poor of my parish 100
silver thalers.
I give to Ant. Brandimarte, who has served me more than 15 years, if still
in my service at the time of my death, 1000 silver thalers, his bed with two
mattresses, bolster, pillows and covering, two pairs of sheets, two pairs of
coverings, winter and summer, and everything belonging to the said bed, his
summer and winter livery, and to all others in my service under 5 years, two
years’ wages.
To my maid, Maria Perikoli, who has served me about 13 years, if in my
service at the time of my death, 1000 silver thalers, her bed, with all thereunto
belonging, all my personal linen and clothes.
To my maid-servants, 25 silver thalers each.
To Margaritha Mazzatelli, who has nursed me in several illnesses, 50
silver thalers, but if with me in my last illness, then 100 silver thalers.
To Dr. Franz Zucchi, of Venice, nephew of my beloved husband, 100 gold
ducats, all my English and French books, the table clock made in England by
the royal clockmaker, and the two globes, with their stands, also made in
London.
All the silver marked Z shall be given immediately after my death by my
executors to the said Dr. Franz Zucchi, also all the egg-shaped and round paint-
ings with their square frames, the figures carved on stone or wood, which all
belonged to my husband, as also many drawings by him of architecture or
ruins of old monuments of various parts, which he bequeathed to me, and which
I now bequeath to the said Dr. Zucchi in remembrance of his cousin (sic) Anton
1 A thaler = circa three shillings.
