Ludovico Stanzani: Freemason Architect and coin connoisseur. Notes on his biography and collection
D'Ottone, Arianna
2012
Abstract
The paper aims at illustrating the results of my latest researches on the life and
coin collection of Ludovico Stanzani. The recent discovery of a plaster bust
informs us, for example, about Stanzani’s affiliation to the Freemasonry and
gives a face to his name. Some handwritten tickets accompanying his coins give
evidence of the numismatic literature used to identify the pieces – probably by
Stanzani himself or by someone who had access to his collection.
In the Appendix figures the catalogue of a group of 150 specimens, among which
Golden Horde issues and anonymous Mongol coins.
