- Summary:
- Concerns the Torelli family (also referred to as "Taurelli"). Refers to Count Francisco Torelli and Count Guidone Galeotto Torelli, who were brothers, and deals with the Torelli genealogy. Predominately discusses the fiefs of Guastalla and the legal processes necessary for selling them, arguing about whether or not the Torellis have a legitimate claim, due to some controversy about a marriage and a lack of true masculine heirs. Also mentions Achille Torelli, Petri Guidiccioni, as well as a series of speakers involved in the issue, including Zacharie, Marquis of Mantua.
