Specialist Notes
THE MOST IMPORTANT BAROQUE CONTRIBUTION TO THE NOBLE BRESCIA.
"This Fabrica of mine is the basis of the Glory of those from ' which we descending are called, & directed to that life, which remains unharmed by the blows of Death, and by the shadows of the sepulchres. (...= Every Virtue signaled is pomp, and Character of this Theatre. Brescia is its Arena; Brescians its statues; Truth its Sun. The Praises that declare its greatness are compendiums of marbles, manuscripts, and royal Histories. Sincerity is its perpetual Guard." (p,a3r).< br>
Ottavio Rossi (Brescia, 26 July 1570 - Brescia , September 28, 1630) was an Italian archaeologist, poet and scholar. "He collected interesting news in the Elogi historici di Bresciani illustri (1620); as a rhymer he was among the most artful. He died during the plague epidemic described by Manzoni." (Treccani, on line).
"...Too long (alas) BRESCIA buried Giacque neglected, now rises again by your hand; Illustrious OTTAVIO; à longo oblio ritolta..." From the proemial sonnet by Lattanzio Stella addressed to the author.
