1928-1929 Pacifici purchase from Vincenzo
The identity of the dealer who sold that large sarc, Sig. Vincenzo, the old man, is a puzzle. The name and age seem to fit very neatly Vincenzo Capobianchi, who had been a distinguished painter before he became a dealer in Rome. The one problem is that Capobianchi died in September 1928 and in June 1929, Pacifici mentions Sig. Vincenzo as though he is quite alive. So, Capobianchi seems to be out. (Cohon, 2025)Acquisition
