Text Fagan Nr. 575:

Monsignor Giovanni Matteo Marchetti. Bishop of Arezzo. Died 1704. Said to have possessed the celebrated book of Drawings formed by Vasari, and 2,638 other Drawings selected by Padre Sebastiano Resta (1635-1714), a Milanese of the Oratory of
San Filippo Neri, Rome. This Collection became afterwards the property of Cavalier Marchetti (the Bishop’s nephew), who, in 1710, sold it to Lord Somers for £ 600, but the Drawings were dispersed before many years had elapsed. Filippo Baldinucci, in his Life of Domenico Passignani, tells us that the Vasari Collection was arranged in five volumes, and sold to dealers, at a valuation by Passignani, (who died in 1638,) per gran migliaja di scudi. See No 492.
