Oretti, Marcello. He was a Bolognese, who travelled through Italy, and
collected materials for a history of painting—consulted archives,
sepulchral monuments, oral traditions, national annals, and the age of the
artists. His 53 volumes were placed in the library of Prince Filippo
Ercolani, who purchased them from his successors, and very kindly gave me
the use of them for this work. The Cav.
Gio. de Lazara, of Padua, assisted by Sig.
Pietro Brandolese, of Lendinara, drew several inedited notices from these
volumes, in addition to the number before extracted. They are added to this
edition under two different heads, namely, Oretti
Carteggio and Oretti Memorie, or the initials
of these words. Under the first are comprehended notices of different
artists, communicated in letters to Sig.
Oretti, or to others, which he procured. Under the second are the notices
collected by himself from the places he passed through, in particular at
Bologna, from authentic documents and registers, monuments, &c. He is frequently noticed throughout Index
