Lot # 401 - Parma. Pierluigi Farnese, 1503-1547. Medal (Bronze, 36.5 mm, 20.67 g.), undated but 1546 by Gian Federico Bonzagni. P LOYSIVS F PARM ET PLAC DVX I, Bearded bust of the Duke, wearing elaborately decorated armor right. Rev. AD CIVITAT DI TIONISQ TVTEL MVNIM EX TRVCTVM, Citadel of Parma. Armand I, 222, 6. Hill 103. Hill-Pollard 70, 375. Kress 375. Johnson-Martini 97,913. Toderi-Vannel 2124. Extremely Fine contemporary cast.   The medal was produced in 1546 for the construction of the citadel of Parma, commissioned by Pierluigi Farnese, but then designed and begun in 1591 by Alessandro Farnese. Pierluigi Farnese was the first Duke of Castro (1537–1545) and the first Duke of Parma and Piacenza (1545–1547), illegitimate son of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, later Pope Paul III. Initially a soldier of often brutal reputation who took part in the 1527 Sack of Rome, he rose rapidly thanks to his father’s favor, becoming gonfaloniere of the Church and consolidating Farnese power in central Italy. His authoritarian rule,the hostility from local nobility and the opposition of Emperor Charles V led to a conspiracy in which he was assassinated at Piacenza in 1547.

The Scaglia collection catalogue states that only four examples of this medal are known. Excessively rare. Ranuccio I Farnese, Duke of Parma and Piacnza, called the Tuscan sculptor Francesco Mochi from Rome to create two imposing bronze equestrian statues, one for himself and one for his father Alessandro, to be placed in the main square of Piacenza, now called Piazza Cavalli (cavalli=horses). The two equestrian statues are known as “Mochi's horses” and are one of the most important equestrian units in 17th-century Europe. They were cast in bronze in several stages over a period of about 17 years, using technical and formal solutions that were very advanced for the time.

NIHIL OBSTAT CAESARIS ARMIS, Plan of the City and Port of Messina, over which Victory flies, bearing crown and shield; on lower left, W; in exergue, CASTELLVM MESSINAE / IN DEDIT REDACT / A MDCCXIX. Montenuovo 1544. Siciliano 91. Sicilia Numismatica, pl. 232. Wonderful specimen with a splendid iridescent patina. Near Uncirculated. Extremely Rare: struck for a very limited number of Officers.   Imperial medal of 1719 struck by Charles VI to celebrate the surrender of Messina during the War of Sicily of 1718-1720. On the reverse, the plan of the citadel and the harbor, with the legend (translated) "Nothing obstructs the arms of the Emperor." A clear message of military propaganda, celebrating the presumed invincibility of the Austrians. But behind the triumphalist emphasis, the fact remains that control of the island was temporary and contested: the reality was less glorious than the medal wants to make us believe. A small medallic masterpiece, between art, rhetoric, and imperial ambition.
