Summary
In chapter 2, we saw how romigi de ricci’s and zanobi perini’s taste for adventures was manifest in their choices of the Vendetta di Cristo and the Leggenda di Santo Tobia. In their illustrations to these texts, both youths highlighted the achievements of the leading characters: in the drawing accompanying the Vendetta we see Titus being presented by Tiberius with a ring and a vessel full of gold coins as reward for his military victory in Judea (Figure 2.2); and in the last illustration of the Leggenda we see the nuptial banquet of Tobias and Sarah, whose father provided Tobias with a very substantial dowry (Figure 2.10).
