Portrait of Carlo Calvi detto il Riccino

Carlo Calvi, textile shopkeeper and supplier of the Ospedale Maggiore, in a testament dated 13 August 1669, left his wife as heir and, upon her death, the Maggiore hospital what remained of the estate. The widow renounces the inheritance and the hospital immediately takes possession of it. There is no news on a portrait commission from the Chapter, and therefore it is believed to have come with the legacy of the deceased, who was probably a musician or music lover, because in one of the hands he holds a score. Unknown artist.
