It remained there for more than a hundred years, then it was removed to the château of Villeroy, and disappeared no one knows whither. On April 24, 1503, the Consuls of the Arte della Lana and the Operai of the Duomo ordered Michael Angelo to carve out of Carrara marble twelve Apostles, each four and a quarter cubits high, to be placed inside the church.
The Operai of Vercelli, I was told, bought the palace a few years ago, restored the noble hall, and devoted a smaller room to a collection of pictures valuable for students of the early Vercellese style of painting. Of these there is no need to speak. The great hall is the gem of the Casa Mariano. It has a coved roof, with a large, flat, oblong space in the centre of the ceiling.
The Operai of Santa Maria del Fiore possessed a piece of marble nine braccia high, which had been brought from Carrara by an artist who was not so wise as he ought to have been, as it appeared.
