This important artwork, property of a family from Trieste, has been nowhere to be found until now. A similar drawing by the same artist is in Civici Musei di Storia ed Arte of Trieste. This drawing was appreciated as a preparatory work of the painting, but the discovery of this artwork has allowed us to confirm some differences beetwen the drawing and the painting. The author considers the possibility of the existence of two different paintings, and only one is known or, in an alternative perspective, the drawing in the Museum was another version of this lucky composition that the artist never painted. Furthermore, archive research better showed the period of his training in the Venetian Academy from 1841 to 1842.

A questo, si è affiancato recentemente quello della critica, che ha ridefinito la sua vicenda biografica col supporto di emergenze documentarie.

Di quella parte della sua variegata attività volta a cogliere gli aspetti più esteriori della società veneziana, espressi in massima misura durante importanti eventi celebrativi o nelle feste popolari.

This painting was St. Francis comforted by the angel after receiving the stigmata, today at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut (USA). The encounter with the heirs of that family, in addition the discovery of some documents that had been kept in the Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali of Florence and Trieste, allowed the author to gather some useful information regarding the most recent definition collected about the history of this painting. The painting was purchased by Guido Grioni in Alexandria, Egypt, by a Muslim man who had inherited it from his brother in law, an Arab Coptic. The painting had previously been under the property of a British officer in Malta. In the second part, as a result of the discovery of these documents, the autor reveals the embarrassing disinterest of Italian institutions towards this painting that some critical, in those years, believed copy of a lost original. The critical difference, that has vitiated the possible acquisition of the painting by the Italian State, was dissolved in 1951 during the great exhibition of Caravaggio in Milan, where the painting was presented as an authentic work. At that time, however, the painting was now already expatriate. Noting the lack of interesting of Italian institutions and with their permission signed by the Minister of National Education, the painting was sold in USA doubling the amount initially requested in Italy.
