Catalogue Note
Les armes sont celles du cardinal Pietro Marcellino Corradini, né en 1658, il devint prêtre en 1702. En 1707, il était déjà consacré archevêque d'Athènes, puis évêque de Frascati, près de Rome. Il fut nommé cardinal en 1712, et reçut le chapeau de cardinal ainsi que le titre de St Giovani a Porta Latina le 21 novembre de cette année là. Il mourut en 1743 des suites d'une longue maladie dans son palais romain de Vita Lata, et fut enterré dans la basilique de St Maria, dans le Trastevere, à Rome.
Il fondit l'institut du "pensionnaire de la Sainte Famille" afin d'éduquer les jeunes filles pauvres de sa ville natale de Sezze. Il établit également une banque à Frascati pour financer l'institut.
