1 page, 11 x 8.5 inches, Rome, December 23, 1579. Written in Italian to an unknown correspondent, explaining that their colleague Luigi Rucellai has become seriously ill, expressing concern that he has not made a will, and advising him not to raise any difficulty concerning his interest in the colleague's estate. Integral leaf still attached without the address panel; otherwise in very good condition for a 450-year-old document. He was the son of Pier Luigi Farnese, the Duke of Parma, who was murdered in 1547. At age 14 he was nominated Cardinal by his Grandfather, the then-recently elected Pope Paul III. In later years he was the Papal Legate to Charles V and was responsible for building the Church of Gesu in Rome. In his lifetime he amassed one of the greatest collections of Renaissance Art known to this day.
