Excerpt from Raccolta di Lettere Sulla Pittura, Scultura ed Architettura, Scritte da' Più Celebri Personaggi dei Secoli XV, XVI e XVII, Vol. 8 of 8
Son contento della mia presente situa. Zione. Il direttore interino, il signor cav. Bossi pistoiese, è una vera gioia; -nè credo mi saria potuto toccare superiore più ob bligante. Mi ha ultimamente consegnato un apprendista, che per ordine di S. M. Si abi lita a servire a suo tempo la Galleria; e per quanto posso congetturare dal talento e dal buon volere, dà Speranza di ben riu ssirvi. Della casa e della gente che mi serve sto pur contentissimo; un uomo di 30 anni con una moglie di 60, concordissimi, at tenti, abili occupati sempre: del tempo che 1010 avanza dal mio servigi0 non perdono un momento; la vecchia fila quanto una Perca; il marito inna3pa, e dimena il brac cio-quanto un Caronte. Riveggo a poco a poco e ricupero gli. Amici antichi. Fra que sti però Spesso il pensiere ini torna in Udi ne, e al Collegio, ove ho avuta la so1te di convivere cinque anni con quegli ottimi religiosi. Se il dovere non miavesse richia mato a Firenze, già bastevolmente riavuto ini da' miei incomodi, sarei tuttavia in Col legio. Si era ivi già capito il riguardo in che 10 dovea vivere; e con quella condiscen denza che detta la umanità 51 custodiva il salotto ne' tempi rigidi; e al grande uffi zio di epa1ancar la finestra niuno mini strave più.
