Private collectors in Mantua, 1500-1630 - Guido Rebecchini - Google Books A great resource of the great art collections and support of artists by Nicola Maffei and other Maffeis this will blow your mind..
The Maffei Family: Mario was amongst the first to recognize the genius of Michelangelo and our family were the first to own any art by Titian.. Nicola Maffei went to Milan and purchased a painting from Leonardo DaVinci personally yes that DaVinci directly from DaVinci Himself..we also were greatly involved with Donatello.. Mario Maffei was put in Charge of the Construction of The Vatican..so dealt with Michelangelo regularly..
