Italy: Papal States, Institute of Science, University of Bologna, 1720, a silver medal by F. Corazzini, bust of Clement XI right, rev. frontal elevation of the Institute, 38mm, 24.94g (Modesti 198, note; cf. Bart. 720; cf. Lincoln 1674). Very fine and extremely rare of this artist (£150-200)

Modesti only refers to the existence of one medal of the Institute by Francesco Corazzini; most of the medals of the Institute are by E. Hamerani (cf. Tkalec, 7 May 2008, lot 422)
