NOTES
Foto sup 328, verso del supporto secondario: nota anonima manoscritta: "This beautiful tomb which Perkins admires so much is / signed and dated: Ambrosii Mediolanensis opi 1475. / The verses beginning with: tu decus urbis were written by / Tito Strozzi. Lorenzo was the brother of Bartolomeo Roverella, the cardinal / buried in S. Clemente, Roma. Lorenzo was professor at Padua / in 1445, nuntius and legate of Calixtus and promoted in 1465 / by Pius III to the see of Ferrara. He celebrated the marriafe of Eleanor / of Aragon with duke Hercules in 1473 and died in 1474 at Monte / Oliveto. His brother transferred his remains to the church of S. George. / The reclining figure of the bishop on the monument is admirable / also the Virgin and child by the master; the 5 figures bu the scholar / are inferior, and the St. George above mediocre".
