In 1487, when Marcella was well into her nineteenth year, she accompanied her father on a trip to the Northern harbour city of Genova. At this time, the trip was a potentially dangerous one, as the city was under control of the Visconti of Milan. The trip was made, however, as its purpose was to introduce Marcella to her future husband, Giovanni di Antonio Rossini. Rossini was a seafaring merchant who was considerably older than his wife and had been married once before. He had four boisterous children - three sons and one daughter, and needed someone to manage his household and raise his children while he was tending to his business. It was not a young girl's ideal marriage but, given that Marcella was considered to be somewhat homely among the bachelors of Florence and Signor Domenico was not particularly wealthy and wanted to save as much money on Marcella's dowry as possible, the marriage was not a completely terrible prospect. In May of 1487, the merchant and the nobleman's daughter were wed.

Persona History - Luctor et emergo

Signora Bartolomea di Antonio Rossini (formerly known as Marcella) was born in Florence in September of 1468 to Signor Domenico di Niccolo di Andrea Albrizzi and his wife, Bartolomea the elder. A precocious child, Bartolomea often chose to spy on the up-and-coming artists in her father's patronage. As a result, while she is not particularly talented artistically, Bartolomea can often come up with reasonable facsimiles of other men's work for her own amusement. In addition to this unauthorized art tutelage, Bartolomea was trained in household management, and by the time she was fifteen she was able to competently take over her mother's duties whenever the lady was ill.

In 1487, when Bartolomea was well into her nineteenth year, she accompanied her father on a trip to the Northern harbour city of Genova. At this time, the trip was a potentially dangerous one, as the city was under control of the Visconti of Milan. The trip was made, however, as its purpose was to introduce Bartolomea to her future husband, Giovanni di Antonio Rossini. Rossini was a seafaring merchant who was considerably older than his wife and had been married once before. He had four boisterous children - three sons and one daughter, and needed someone to manage his household and raise his children while he was tending to his business. It was not a young girl's ideal marriage but, given that Bartolomea was considered to be somewhat homely among the bachelors of Florence and Signor Domenico was not particularly wealthy and wanted to save as much money on Bartolomea's dowry as possible, the marriage was not a completely terrible prospect. In May of 1487, the merchant and the nobleman's daughter were wed.

The year is now 1495 and the rule of Milan is battling with the oligarchical rule by Doges (local dukes) for control of Genova. Despite less than romantic beginnings, Bartolomea's marriage has turned out to be a success. Bartolomea is an adept stepmother and manager of the household. Her husband is often away at sea, giving her ample time to pursue her own interests in art, music, and entertainment. She is a devout Roman Catholic.
