Dear Monica, Perhaps is of some help to know also that Kapsperger was not in Venice before his period in Rome, but in Naples. He was already married there with Girolama de Rossi in 1604, when their daughter Dorothea was born. The date 1579 is more appropriated for his birth year, because in this case he was in 1604 "d'età maggiore", 25 years old. Greetings, Franco Pavan
