Provenance nameBazolle, Paolo Maresio [Person; Bookseller] (Male, Booktrade, Unknown)
Provenance TypeBibliographic Evidence
NoteThe Pillone Library, together with the family collections of pictures, medals, armour and relics of Lepanto, remained intact for three centuries at Villa Casteldardo in the foothills near Belluno until they were sold in 1874 in their entirety to the Venetian antiquaire Paolo Maresio Bazolle. The ordinary books were widely dispersed but those decorated by Vecellio were acquired en bloc by Sir Thomas Brooke in 1875: see A. TESSIER, Di Cesare Vecellio e de suoi dipinti e disegni in una collezione dei libri dei secoli XV e XVI, Venezia, coi tipi di G. Cecchini, 1875, p.12-13.
