16th century Italy.- Colonna (Marco Antonio, Duke de Tagliacozzi, Duke and Prince of Paliano, general and admiral, 1535-1584) Letter signed to Cardinal Commendone, 1p. with conjugate blank, in Italian, with Superscription and blind seal, folio, Naples, 4th April 1577, in reply to a letter of recommendation by Cardinal Commendone of Claudio Gonzaga and offering his full co-operation, folds, browned, some staining, very small tear at tail. ⁂ Giovanni Francesco Commendone (1524-84), cardinal and diplomatist; Bishop of Atri in 1556 and a cardinal in 1565. He was sent as nuncio and legate to many countries, Pope Julius III sent him in 1553 on an important mission to Queen Mary Tudor, who had just succeeded Edward VI on the English throne. He was to treat with the new queen concerning the restoration of the Catholic faith in England. There is no doubt he would have been raised eventually to the Papacy, but he died at a relatively young age. Claudio di Gonzaga was the illegitimate son of Francesco di Gonzaga, Count di Novellara, and Elena Boccali. It is said that his father wished to make him his heir, and he was certainly educated at court with his brothers. He was killed after an attempted plot to murder his brothers in 1589.
