Guercino heritage

This inventory is an accurate classification of the assets of the last descendants of Giovanni Francesco Barbieri.

The overall picture that arises from the reading of the substantial dossier about Gennari’s property is that they were a wealthy family with great earnings.

Guercino’s grandnephews became the owners of a rich estate consisting of Guercino’s conspicuous inheritance, including houses, lands, a few precious gold and silver objects, bedding, some piece of furniture and, above all, a great quantity of prints, paintings and drawings.
