  • The article reconstructs the events relating to the painting of Giulio Cesare Procaccini's large-scale "Saint Charles Borromeo in Glory with Saint Michael the Archangel", now in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin. According to a letter of 1628 from the painter Antonio Mariani della Cornia to Federico Borromeo, the work was rejected by its patrón, hitherto unidentified but now for the first time recognised as the Compagnia dei Lombardi in Florence, which in 1615 had based itself in the oratory known as San Michele vecchio, now the church of San Carlo dei Lombardi. In addition to this hypothesis, the autor studies other instances connecting Procaccini and Florentine patrons, and in particular Grand Duke Cosimo II de' Medici.
