Bagemihl, \u201cIl Rosso a Volterra. Curiosit\u00e0 e notizie,\u201d La Spalletta. Settimanale volterrano di cronaca e cultura<\/i>, IV, no. 32 [8 August 1987], 3), published the text, and commented that the making of such an appointment implied a long absence from Florence, during which time Rosso would not be able to return to handle his own business.\u00a0 But Florence is not mentioned in the document.\u00a0 As the student\u2019s name indicates that he came from Piombino, it is possible that the affairs that may have needed attention would be ones in Piombino, where Rosso had just been working for Jacopo V Appiano (see L.15<\/a> and L.16<\/a>).\u00a0 As this document does not seem to have been made in response to any specific event, it is possible that Rosso made it shortly after his arrival in Volterra from Piombino.\u00a0 Ciardi, in Ciardi and Mugnaini, 1991, 149, pointed out that Pietro (Piero) Calefati was the son of Nicola Calefati, who had handled important assignments of the court of Piombino and became the treasurer of Jacopo V; see also Ciardi, 1994, 55, 95, n. 117, noting that Calefati was not present when the document was drawn up, and stating that it confirms Rosso\u2019s relation to the Signor di Piombino.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rosso, in Volterra, appoints a Sienese University Student, Piero Niccol\u00f2 Calefati da Piombino, as his procurator to deal, if necessary, with his affairs outside Volterra (in Piombino?).
