Chapter 14724 Latin; he is a youth ready to bear fatigue and will readily exert himself, if he is asked to.13 The latter phrase seems to indicate some lack of initiative on Paolo’s part, something of which Ottavio certainly cannot be accused. It is clear that Stra- da’s younger surviving son was a most promising youngster, who shared his father’s interests, and like him was endowed with both intellectual and artistic talents. It was Ottavio who was carefully trained by his father as his successor and who at an early age accompanied him as his assistant. Swelling his father’s suite of personal servants and local brokers and appraisers, his presence in Venice attracted the invidious attention of Strada’s rival, Niccolò Stopio: [Strada] went around here in Venice<…>with scarlet hose, with his son as a page and three or four of these brokers as followers so that he seemed a great lord, but I assure your Lordship that people here don’t appreciate such conduct …14 Stopio also refers to what must have been an important function of both Paolo and Ottavio, that is to translate and write their father’s letters in German: born of a German mother and bred in Nuremberg and Vienna, their command of the written language was obviously far superior to that of their father and, once old enough, one or both of them habitually functioned as their father’s German secretary.15 13 Doc. 1573-00-00: Strada to Maximilian ii, without place and date: ‘Mi trovo mio figliuolo Pauolo Strada, il quale è sta[to] in Turchia tre anni, nel qual luogo à patito del male assai, come è noto a molti. Io con esso lui suplichiamo la Maestà Vostra Cesarea che li voglia esser raccomandato di un picciol servicio da gentilhuomo, o apresso alla Maestà Vostra, o vero a le Maestà delli Serenissimi suoi figliuoli. Esso è inclinato a far viaggi e massime in Turchia, dove à qualche principio della lingua, et nel praticarvi per lo avenire la potria finire de imparare. E giovine animoso, andara in capo del mondo se la Maestà Vostra cello comandara; è di eta di venticinque anni e di madre tedescha, nato a Nurimbergo. Parla italiano e latino; è giovine da durar fattica, et si affaticara voluntieri, ma che li sia comandato’. 14 Stopio to Fugger, 16 January 1568: ‘[Strada] <…>andava qui per la terra<…>con le calze di scarlato, col figliuolo per paggio et 3. o 4 di questi suoi sanzali appresso che pareva un conte et cavalliere, ma prometto a V.S. che questa terra non vuol tal procedere<…>’ (BHStS, Kurbayern, Äusseres Archiv 4852, fol. 122). 15 Ibidem, 31 August 1567, fol. 56: ‘Et così si pratica di longo, come penso haveria scritto a Sua Eccellenza, per la lettera che hora mando, la sop[ra]scrittion è di man sua, secondo la sua grammatica ‘obsserv.mo’, con ‘b’ et ‘ss’, non so se per di dentro havera anche detto secondo la sua rara dottrina ‘efitt.mo’, ò che l’havera fatto scrivere Thodesco dal figliuolo’. Various documents and letters preserved among Strada’s files are in Ottavio or Paolo’s hands.
