Yet it seemed that all the accounts were in order! As the treasurer of this Fabbrica, I have to take care of the incomes and expenses of the Santissimo Monte. Only yesterday I paid off the heirs of poor Bustino, peace be upon his soul. But there are not only the artists to pay. There are always new expenses. I ‘ve just read in the Fabbrica's books that from1619 to1622 we paid several sums to the stonecutter Battista to carve the bases, the capitals, the cornices and even the lantern! And it was not just that! There are the bricklayers, the glassmakers, the unskilled workers and the quarrymen. There is even the girl with the mule, who brings the mortar and food to the Monte. Soon it will be necessary to pay Giovanni Ambrosio Pennacchio, a blacksmith, for the iron grating to put in front of the statues!
