Dear ARLIS/NA Colleagues,

 

With the resources at your disposal, can anyone find information on the following 17^th Century Italian, Conte Niccolo Ponzoni?

 

He is related to the Gonzaga family, from Cremona, and there are a few hits on Google, but nothing of significance biographically.

 

Niccolo Ponzoni may have been a collector?

 

Following are the Sources Already Checked:

 

--indexes to festschriften literature by Lincoln and by Rave

--Benezit

--DNB (you never know if NP might have done something of significance in Great Britain)

--RAA, RILA, and BHA

--SCIPIO

--JSTOR

--indexes to periodical lit: Frick and Ryerson indexes

--Wikipedia; Britannica; French ency; German ency

--Italian biog encys (however, we relied on a third party for this searching, so if anyone has access to the major Italian biographical encyclopedias, we would appreciate a re-check of this name in them.)

--Grove music

Thanks VERY much.

 

Jeffrey
