“ When it chances, however, that the due reward of a man’s labours is very late in being attained, he is but too frequently prevented from enjoying it for any great length of time by the venom of death, as we shall see to have been the case with Girolamo da Treviso. ”

“ There are many other works by our artist in the city of Bologna, some dispersed among the houses of the citizens, and some in the churches. In Galiera he painted a façade of the palace of the Teofamini family in chiaro-scuro, with another façade, which is behind the Dolfi Palace: and this is considered by many artists to be the best of Girolamo’s works in that place. ”
