Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles de la famille Vercellana, probablement pour Rosina Vercellana (1833-1885), nommée en 1858 comtesse de Mirafiori et Fontanafredda par décret royal, épouse morganatique du roi Victor-Emmanuel II. En 1864, Rosina suivit le roi à Florence où ils s'installèrent dans la villa La Petraia.
