• Resumen

  • The discovery of the death certificate of Giovanni Andrea Torre (1701), a Genoese carver and sculptor active during the second half of the seventeenth century, and that of an interesting notarial document of 1689, prompt reflection not only on the artist's possible youthful Roman sojourn but also on his subsequent collaboration with the young Anton Maria Maragliano, as mentioned by Carlo Giuseppe Ratti in his biography of Torre. The author also proposes that the "Crucifix" housed in the Genoese church of San Rocco is the work - hitherto considered lost- formerly displayed on the high altar of the destroyed church of San Francesco di Castelletto, which the early sources assigned to Torre.
