As suggested earlier, the possibility remains that Strada had already met this gifted scion of the most illustrious German banking dynasty, his exact contemporary, in Italy. Fugger [Fig. 3.1], born at Augsburg on 23 December 1516, was the eldest surviving son of Raymund Fugger and Catharina Thurzo von Bethlenfalva. He had already followed part of the studious curriculum which was de rigueur in his family even before arriving in Bologna: this included travel and study at foreign, rather than German universities.1 Hans Jakob, accompanied on his trip by his preceptor Christoph Hager, first studied in Bourges, where he heard the courses of Andrea Alciati, and then followed Alciati to Bologna [Fig. 1.12]. Doubtless partly because of the exceptional standing of his family—the gold of Hans Jakob’s great-uncle, Jakob ‘der Reiche’, had obtained the Empire for Charles v—but certainly also because of his personal talents, Fugger met and befriended a host of people of particular political, ecclesiastical or cultural eminence—such as Viglius van Aytta van Zwichem, whom he met in Bourges and again in Bologna—or later would ascend to high civil or ecclesiastical rank. His friends included both Germans, such as the companion of his travels and studies, Georg Sigmund Seld, afterwards Reichsvizekanzler, his compatriot Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, afterwards Cardinal and Prince-Bishop of Augsburg [Fig. 1.14], and Wigulaeus Hund, later Chancellor of the Duke of Bavaria. Among the Italians he met we find the young Alessandro Farnese, the future Cardinal [Fig. 1.15], and Cristoforo Madruzzo, afterwards Prince-Bishop of Trent; another fellow student was Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, afterwards Bishop of Arras, Cardinal, secretary of state of Emperor Charles v and King Philip ii of Spain and Viceroy of Naples [Fig. 1.13].2","PeriodicalId":176058,"journal":{"name":"Jacopo Strada and Cultural Patronage at The Imperial Court (2 Vols.)

Melissus implies that Strada had spent many years in Rome, information that he probably obtained from Strada himself. Though it is possible that it refers chiefly to Strada’s later sojourn, between 1553 and 1554, there are sufficient indications that he had spent some considerable time there even before he definitely settled in Germany in the early 1540s. Unfortunately, the lack of data concerning Strada’s early life does not allow a reconstruction of the sequence of his artistic training, his hypothetical visits to the universities of Bologna and/or Pavia, and his more extensive travels in Italy. Considering the usual curriculum of the journeyman or student, who would normally set out on his travels only after having acquired his basic training, I think we can assume that Strada likewise only thought of widening his horizon when he had already acquired some basic proficiency both in his art and in his erudite studies. That would have him set out from Mantua at the latest towards the middle of the 1530s, when he was about twenty years old. These travels appear to have covered a large part of his native country, if we may believe Strada’s claims in the preface of his Epitome thesauri antiquitatum, the illustrated numismatic treatise that he published in Lyon in 1553.
