The paper re-examines all the known documents about altarpieces executed by Carlo Crivelli for the church of San Francesco, Matelica, and confirms they relate to two different works: one for a side chapel, finished by the Venetian painter for a member of the ruling family of the Marchigian town, Ranuccio Ottoni (now in the National Gallery, London); the other for the high altar, interrupted by Crivelli's sudden death, and later painted by Marco Palmezzano (still preserved in the same church). A payment for Crivelli's high altarpiece for San Francesco, Fabriano (now Brera, Milan) is here published for the first time.

The paper identifies Arcangelo di Fiordimonte, the 15th-century traitor who conspired against the Da Varano, the ruling family of Camerino, as the nobleman and merchant Arcangelo d'Antonio Chiavelli, a member of a minor branch of the Chiavelli family of Fabriano. His life is here reconstructed for the first time, following him from his native Camerino through Ancona, where he found shelter before being murdered by a Da Varano hitman.

In an unpublished letter from the Medici archives before the Principate, sent on 23 April 1438 to the Florentine Antonio Martelli, Antonio da Montefeltro, then an influential member of the family of the counts of Urbino, who later fell out of favour, gives instructions for the delivery of an altarpiece he had commissioned in Venice from a painter certainly identifiable as Antonio Vivarini. By cross-referencing this letter with other sources, both from Urbino and Venice, the author concludes that it refers to an altarpiece for the chapel of Saints Anthony Abbot and James, founded by Antonio’s father, Niccolò, in the Church of San Francesco in Urbino. Based on its iconography and style, this altarpiece is finally recognised in a dismembered polyptych by Vivarini (the central panel, a Virgin and Child in the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, being the only piece whose location is known), a work already established in scholarship as one of the earliest by the Murano-born painter.

Bridging a gap spanning from Sodoma’s apprenticeship in his native Piedmont to his arrival in Siena, a previously unpublished notarial act reveals that the young painter was in Rome in 1497, thus confirming what the most experienced critics had already argued on the basis of style. The person who hosted the Vercelli painter in his home on this occasion (present at the deed as a witness) was Battista Tomarozzi, whose life can be better known through some new documents and a short biography presented here for the first time. Tomarozzi had ties with the major families of the city, the Roman Curia, and, at least in his youth, the Kingdom of Naples. He was a man of culture, too: he studied under two humanists, and collected antique objects that possibly interested Sodoma.
