Plural[edit]

Is the plural not pitture infamanti? --Wetman (talk) 14:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, obviously. I'm a klutz with languages. Savidan 23:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the singular of condottieri was condottiere, not condottiero until Giano sorted me out. --Wetman (talk) 09:29, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anserpent?[edit]

From the text: "Konrad von Landau, painted on the walls of Bologna by anserpent" What does "anserpent" mean? --82.35.251.109 (talk) 19:08, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Defamatory[edit]

Infamante is not synonymous with defamatory. If a jailed man wears the traditional prisoner clothes, those clothes are infamante in French (ignominious ? shameful ? scornful ? humiliating ? dishonoring ?) Defamatory is when you say or write something false about someone, which is not the case of paintings of recognized fraudulent persons. 206.47.94.98 (talk) 03:31, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two different pitture infamanti or one subject to two differing records ?[edit]

Ridolfo di Camerino and Rodolfo II da Varano are presented as two different persons whereas they are one person according to internal links. So was he subject to two different pitture infamanti or are we in a situation where Dean and Caferro differ when reporting about one pittura infamante?

Contempt of court[edit]

The Italian article speaks of contumacy. Contumacy is a contempt of court but all contempts of court are not cases of contumacy. You may commit a contempt of court while being in court. Jean Marcotte (talk) 03:31, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
