Transcript	RECTO Illustrissimo et Eccellentissimo Signore. dal Cavaliere Negri che visitarà l’Eccellenza Vostra a mio nome le sarà rappresentato il sommo desiderio ch’io tengo di vederla in questa casa che è della Maestà Cesarea et insieme di Vostra Eccellenza la prego perciò strettissimamente a voler pigliarne il possesso et far questo piacere a me, che le ne restarò veramente molto tenuto come farò s’ella si compiacerà di ricevere tutte le commodità che le possono esser somministrate in questo mio stato, valendosi delle cose mie come se fossero proprie di lei. È piacciuto a Dio ch’io sia ritornato d[a] Roma a tempo di poter vedere et godere l’Eccellenza Vostra qui, come ho grandemente desiderato et desidero et però la riprego a favorirmi ch’io riceva questo contento. Et perché il medesimo cavaliere procurerà di supplire a quello ch’io di piú potrei dirle, ad esso rimettendomi, resto con augurare all’Eccellenza Vostra ciò ch’ella medesima desidera. Di Mantova, li 13 genaro 1592 Di (Vostra Eccellenza) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcribed from Italian by Valentina Cesco, Doctoral Candidate of History, The Pennsylvania State University, and Margo Stavros, Ph.D., Siena College TRANSLATION Most Illustrious and Excellent Signore. Cavaliere Negri, who will visit Your Excellency on my behalf, will express to you my greatest desire to see you in this house, which is of the Imperial Majesty and also of Your Excellency. Therefore I adamantly beg you to want to take possession of the house and to do me this favor for which I will remain truly in your debt; as I will be if you will happily receive all the comforts that can be provided in my state, availing yourself of all my possessions as though they were your own. By the grace of God, I have returned from Rome in time to be able to see and enjoy Your Excellency here, as I greatly desired and do desire; therefore, I beg of you once again to grant me this that makes me content. Since the very same cavaliere will supplement those things that I could in addition tell you, placing my trust in him, I remain to wish Your Excellency that which you yourself desire.
