_stornelli_ in Browning's _Fra Lippo Lippi_ of two of which Richard's are variants. [8] Palliano or Pagliano, for the name is variously spelled. [9] John Addington Symonds further relates in what strange ways fate fulfilled this prediction. "Disaster fell on each of the five brothers. The first of them, Ottavio, was killed by a cannon-ball at sea in honorable combat with the Turk. Another, Girolamo, who sought refuge in France, was shot down in an ambuscade while pursuing his amours with a gentle lady. A third, Alessandro, died under arms before Paris in the troops of General Farnese. A fourth, Luca, was imprisoned at Rome for his share of the step-mother's murder, but was released on the plea that he had avenged the wounded honour of his race. He died, however, poisoned by his own brother Marcantoni in 1599. Marcantoni was arrested on suspicion and imprisoned in Torre di Nona, where he confessed his guilt. He was shortly afterward beheaded on the little square before the bridge of St. Angelo." [10] Hamilton was aided in his work by Piranesi whose engravings record the state of the ruins at this time. [11] The same figure is depicted in the frescoes of Pompeii, and here the deep blue of an Italian night glittering with stars gives the added touch of colour. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK ROMANCE OF ROMAN VILLAS*** ******* This file should be named 27766.txt or 27766.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/7/7/6/27766 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
