Cantaro, Maria Teresa: The rediscovered portrait of 'wild' Antonietta Gonzales. From Ulisse Aldrovandi Collection/ Il ritratto di Antonietta Gonzales 'salvatica' ritrovato.

Account of Antonietta Gonzales' portrait, recently rediscovered beneath a 'Madonna and Child' painting in the style of Bernadino Luini.
