Other central and northern Italian communes, from Spoleto to Piemonte , elected or appointed ''gonfalonieri.'' The Bentivoglio Family of Bologna aspired to this office during the sixteenth century. A century later, when Artemisia Gentileschi painted a portrait of Pietro Gentile as a gonfaloniere of Bologna in 1622 , with the ''gonfalon'' in the background, the appointment was a shadow formality. {Link without Title} |
