725Ambitions as a Publisher 14.3 Ottavio Strada’s Role Stopio’s letters to Fugger afford other occasional vignettes of Ottavio’s role: for instance when in the late summer of 1567 Strada had to flee Mantua in fear of the Inquisition, Ottavio was to remain in the lodgings they had rented to oversee the execution of Strada’s commissions, among which the manufacture of an ebony chest. At seventeen Ottavio in his innocence was no match for the dishonest joiner who made it, who sent him out of the house on some errand, and then broke open Strada’s treasure chest and decamped with the considerable sum of three hundred scudi.16 In later life Ottavio would be regu- larly employed as an agent in his father’s business affairs, concluding deals, collecting payments, and supervising commissions. Thus in March 1574 Strada told Hans Jakob Fugger that he intended to send Ottavio to Venice ‘for some business affairs of mine’, offering to have him act on Fugger’s behalf in the ac- quisition of some collections of antiquities, and from a letter to Jacopo Dani of the same year it transpires that Ottavio had recently travelled to the Southern Netherlands, from which he had brought numismatic materials—doubtless among other things.17 When a year earlier Ottavio had visited Augsburg, he had shown Hans Fugger, Hans Jakob’s cousin, several books of drawings. One of these particularly interested Fugger, a volume containing only ‘Citata oder 16 BHStA, Kurbayern, Äusseres Archiv 4852, fol. 69, Stopio to Fugger, Venice 5 October 1567: ‘Il Strada era per comprare qui assai medaglie da uno che me le ha gia offerte, ma li furono robbati da 300 [scu]di in Mantua, da uno che li faceva una cassetta d’Ebano in casa, es- sendo esso Strada partito per Verona, per paura della Inquisitione<…>per il che se ne ando subito via, per Verona, lasciando il suo puto in Mantua, con collui che fece la cas- setta, il quale mando poi fuori il figlio in un servizio, et in quel mezzo ruppe la serratura ad una cassetta ove erano li danari, et scampo via, et il puto ando poi con quello haveva trovato avanzare in casa a trovare il padre a Verona, et non fidandosi ne anche ivi venne poi di longo a Ven[eti]a, over per rispetto de l’Imp[erato]re non li haveriano lasciato dare molestia<…>’. 17 Strada to Hans Jakob Fugger (Doc. 1574-03-01): ‘a Dio piacendo voglio mandar Ottavio mio figliolo a Vinetia per alcuni mei negotij, e se pole servire la Signoria Vostra in qualche cosa lo farà voluntieri. Anche se Sua Excellenza vole che faccia praticha con li Vendramini di quel suo studio delle antiquità, o vero con quello del Cavaliero Mozenigo, qual sia il più bello che ora in Vinetia si trovi, del quale intendo se ne vole desfare, io farò che ne cavarà li inventarij, e si mandaranno a Sua Excellenza, si che Vostra Signoria me potrà avisar del tutto quello vorà che si faccia.’; Strada to Jacopo Dani (Doc. 1574-07-11): ‘Del favore che Vos- tra Signoria mi dice che Sua Altezza mi farra per la mia Series, ritrovandosene ne molte doppie, la ringratio con tutto il cuore, et gliene basio le mani; ma creddo che poche or mai me ne manchi, et poche se ne truovi che io non l’habbi; perchè in tanti anni ch’io vi sonno a torno, et in tante parti dove son stato, et doppo Ottavio mio figliuolo che ultimamente è stato in Fiandra, creddo che habbiamo ragunato tutto quello che si truova’.
