There, he created, in particular, the famous Papacqua Fountain and the Palazzo Albani-Chigi. Autograph document, signed. No place, March 8, 1568. 1 p. in-4. Brown ink on a double sheet of laid paper bearing a fleur-de-lis watermark. Missing sections affecting the text at the bottom, stains, and wear. A very rare handwritten document by the Italian Renaissance architect Ottaviano Schiratti, concerning the tomb of the Cardinal of Carpi, with a few handwritten lines signed by Ottaviano Schiratti (with missing sections). "I, Ottaviano Shiratti, affirm the need and attest that the aforementioned stones are of good quality; therefore, Your Excellency is requested to order that I be paid so that the work may be completed and put into operation, and I humbly kiss your hands [?] March 8, 1568."

The receipt is preceded by a list of stones and marbles, in another hand, with the costs, titled “Stones still needed for the tomb of Cardinal de Carpe.” It includes: a piece of soft marble from the canons of San Lorenzo in Lucina, a piece of yellow Lucarino column from Santa Maria, a piece of green marble from Monsignor Giovanni da Salti at Piazza de Branca, and two small holy doors from Monsignor Leonardo. "Stones still needed for the burial of the [?] Cardinal di Carpe, of blessed memory / A piece of soft marble from the Canons of Santo Lorenzo in Lucina amounts to - 5 / A piece of yellow Lucarino column from Santa Maria in via amounts to - 6 / A piece of green marble from Monsignor Giovanni da Salti at Piazza di Branca, costing 4 / The [?] from the two holy fragments by Monsignor Leonardo, costing 6 / Total 21." The last lines, added in Schiratti’s hand, are illegible.
