“Il s’agit en effet d’une impression priv\u00e9e, r\u00e9alis\u00e9e aux d\u00e9pens de l’auteur et \u00e0 son adresse, rue de Tournon, \u00e0 Paris. La rue de Tournon, dans le Faubourg Saint-Germain correspond au quartier de r\u00e9sidence des principaux Italiens de la cour, autour des familles Delbene, et Gondi. Lucrezia Cavalcanti, \u00e9pouse d’Albozzo Delbene fit \u00e9difier en 1566 un h\u00f4tel (aujourd’hui, no. 12 et 14), Jacobo Corbinelli r\u00e9sida au n. 16; Concino Concini s’installa au n. 10. Il ne subsiste rien de ces demeures” (Balsamo).<\/p>\n
